As Reece Topley was about to delivery the second ball of the over, Ishan Kishan pulled away from his instance as he was not ready to face the bowler. Topley still threw the ball away from Kishan to make sure he maintains his momentum before applying his brakes. Kishan quickly apologised to the bowler and it all ended on a really good note.

MI vs RCB Live: SIX!

IPL 2024 Live: RCB finish on a high!

MI vs RCB Live Score: What a yorker!
Jasprit Bumrah has got the wicket of Mahipal Lomror with a literally toe-crushing yorker. The ball his the toe of Lomror and he is grimacing in pain.

RCB 153/5 (16.4)

MI vs RCB Live Score: Expensive over

IPL 2024 Live: Fifty for RCB captain!
A single and Faf Du Plessis races to his half-century in 33 balls. This has been a solid knock from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain. However, the work is not done yet as he needs to take RCB to a competitive total. RCB 119/4 in 13.5 overs vs Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024.

MI vs RCB Live: Another WICKET!

Shreyas Gopal has got the wicket of Glenn Maxwell and the horrible run of the Australian player with the bat continues. It was a googly and Maxwell failed to read it. The ball hit his front pad and umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger.

MI vs RCB Live: Patidar is OUT!

Rajat Patidar is out after slamming his half-century in 25 balls. He got there with two consecutive sixes off Gerland Coetzee's bowling but then lost his wicket off the very next ball.

IPL 2024 Live: Bumrah returns
Jasprit Bumrah was handed the ball and he checked RCB's scoring rate with a four-run over. Bumrah kept both Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar guessing in the over.

RCB 40/2 (5.4)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Suyash Prabhudessai, Saurav Chauhan, Swapnil Singh, Rajan Kumar, Karn Sharma

MI vs RCB Live: Beautiful scene
RCB's Mohammed Siraj was seen giving a warm hug to MI's Jasprit Bumrah. Both the players play for two different teams in IPL but they are the teammates in the Indian team. This is what sport is all about. A healthy competition on the ground but all brotherhood after it.

IPL 2024 LIVE Score: Here are the playing XIs -

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Mohammad Nabi, Shreyas Gopal, Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik(w), Mahipal Lomror, Reece Topley, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep

IPL 2024 LIVE Score: Faf's honest admission -

"We've tried to change things, so we've given chances to some of our players, some new players and it's up to them to take the opportunity. It's important to give players a decent run, but we've found ourselves in a stage where we haven't done well, so it's time to make changes. One thing that's important is to be consistent and that's where we've been disappointing. But we know we can turn this around. We would have fielded as well, chasing at this ground is the better option, but the pitch looks good. We've got three changes - Jacks debuts and he'll come in at 3, Mahipal and Vyshak are back," said RCB skipper Faf du Plessis.

IPL 2024 LIVE: One change for MI

"We will bowl first. It looks like a similar track, but it might get better to bat on under lights. There was a bit of dew as well, so chasing could be a better option. The mood before and after the win was different, we'll need to start well, put the pressure and then take the game forward. We got the highest score without anyone getting to 50, that gives you plenty of confidence. Bowling well in the powerplay was crucial. One change - Shreyas Gopal comes in place of Piyush Chawla," said Hardik Pandya.

MI vs RCB Live: MI opt to bowl first
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya has won the toss and opted to bowl first in the game.

IPL 2024 LIVE: Will Jacks makes debut
Will Jacks has been handed his Royal Challengers Bengaluru cap by Virat Kohli. RCB bagged the England star in the IPL 2023 auction for a big sum of Rs 3.2 crore.

MI vs RCB Live: Suryakumar aims to hit form

Suryakumar Yadav's return amid a lot of attention ended in a damp squib, but the world's no. 1 T20 batter would be itching to hit the strides and get a big score. Romario Shepherd's blitz against Anrich Nortje for 32 runs in an over clearly proved to be the difference against DC here, since the visitors managed to go past the 200-run mark despite not looking threatening enough while chasing an imposing 235-run target.

MI vs RCB Live: Hardik under scanner

Even though Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have set the scoring tempo at the top, the middle-order has failed to carry the momentum for which skipper Hardik Pandya is answerable to a large extent. It remains to be seen if the anger of MI fans against Pandya persists when he takes the field next, as he got some respite in their last game which was attended by thousands of children and not regular supporters.

IPL 2024 LIVE: Big opportunity for Mumbai Indians

MI would know present circumstances provide them with a ripe opportunity to build up on their recent success and move further up in the points table after a rough start. For a side which invariably starts IPL with a few losses, MI know their way around these lanes. A contest against a floundering RCB could bring about their second win on the trot and some further boost in confidence, before facing defending champions Chennai Super Kings. But it would be imperative for MI not to get too far ahead, since they also have their share of concerns.

MI vs RCB Live: RCB's poor bowling attack

Any bowling attack would be left searching for answers if one of their part-timers is topping the list of wicket-takers. And in RCB's case, whose bowling looked threadbare even before they hit the ground running, Maxwell's four scalps neither provide any respite nor assurance. But their recent record against MI could boost RCB, who have won four of their last five games. The overall record in 32 matches, however, is tilted in favour of the five-time champions, who enjoy 18 wins against RCB's 14.

IPL LIVE: Is another big knock from Kohli coming?
With the memories of his 50th ODI century in the World Cup semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium just five months ago still fresh, Virat Kohli would be keen to flourish again at the same venue on Thursday. He is coming into this game on the back of a sensational century he scored against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.

IPL 2024 LIVE: Kohli's form, the silverlining for RCB
Virat Kohli's brilliance, notwithstanding, RCB's campaign is under threat of falling apart even before they could register enough wins to have a real shot at the knockouts. With the halfway mark of the ongoing IPL approaching rapidly, it is imperative for RCB's overseas stars, including skipper Faf du Plessis (109 runs), Glenn Maxwell (32) and Cameron Green (68) to find form. Kohli's imperious form -- 316 runs with one century and two fifties at a strike rate of 146.29 -- has been the lone bright spot for RCB.

MI vs RCB Live Score: A look at squads -

Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (c), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, Jasprit Bumrah, Piyush Chawla, Gerald Coetzee, Tim David, Shreyas Gopal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Anshul Kamboj, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Kwena Maphaka, Mohammad Nabi, Shams Mulani, Naman Dhir, Shivalik Sharma, Romario Shepherd, Arjun Tendulkar, Nuwan Thushara, Tilak Varma, Vishnu Vinod, Nehal Wadhera, Luke Wood.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.

IPL 2024 LIVE: Story of MI is also similar

However, there is nothing much to separate the two teams as RCB are just a rung below Mumbai Indians in the points table at the ninth position with MI winning just one (29-run victory over Delhi Capitals) out of their four games so far.

Live Score: RCB under pressure

Desperate Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be under tremendous pressure to get their act together against an equally struggling Mumbai Indians when the two teams face-off in an Indian Premier League match on Thursday. Four losses in five matches have not only vindicated how poor RCB were in the last IPL auction, but they have also missed the opportunity to make it up with better on-field showing.

IPL 2024 LIVE Score: Kohli's eyes Dhawan's record
With the tally of 901, Shikhar Dhawan holds the record of scoring most runs against Mumbai Indians in IPL history. Virat Kohli needs 50 runs to surpass him for the record. KL Rahul is at the second spot with 867 runs while Kohli is at the third spot with 852.
