Rishi Dhawan delivers a shortish delivery, around middle at 125.9 kph, Mahipal Lomror runs down the track and blazes his pull shot across the line. It's aerial and goes straight into the hands of Shikhar Dhawan at mid-wicket. The two Dhawans have combined for a wicket and Rishi is all pumped up!

4.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rishi Dhawan lands it on a length just outside off, gets it to shape away a bit, Faf du Plessis dances down the track for a big heave across the line but fails to connect cleanly. Jitesh Sharma catches the ball and runs forward in celebration. The umpire is not interested and the keeper immediately signals to his skipper to take the DRS. Mayank obliges and the UltraEdge confirms the departure of du Plessis. Bangalore have now lost both their openers.
Review! Punjab again take a review, this time for a caught behind decision. There was a noise as the ball passed the bat and the UltraEdge confirms the same as there is a big spike on it. Faf du Plessis has to walk back. Another successful review from Punjab.

3.2 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Big wicket for Punjab. Sharp delivery from Rabada, around leg on the shorter side, Kohli steps back and tries to glance but fails to make a proper connection. It balloons off his thigh pad to short fine leg where the fielder (Rahul Chahar) catches the ball. Rabada is appealing, the finger stays down. He asks his skipper to take the DRS. The UltraEdge shows that the ball has clipped the gloves of Kohli before shooting up from the top half of his thigh pad. Rabada strikes and removes Kohli who was looking in fine form.
Review time! Virat Kohli has been caught at short fine leg and Punjab take the review. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball brushes his gloves. Out it is.
