- 21:27 (IST)RCB vs RR Live: Pitch "was a little sticky throughout""It (the wicket) was a little sticky throughout and I feel it is going to be challenging in the second innings as well. We had clear plans before the game because the last few games here we didn't bat particularly well, it was important we ran hard and hit the gaps. I have done a lot of hardwork, last couple of years didn't go my way, but I worked really hard on my game, not just tactically but also mentally. Having DK and Andy around helped a lot. We should be able to restrict them," said RCB batter Devdutt Padikkal.

- 21:12 (IST)
- 21:06 (IST)RCB vs RR Live: Poor captaincy!That was an expensive over from Fazalhaq Farooqi. This is poor captaincy from Riyan Parag.

- 20:53 (IST)
- 20:46 (IST)RCB vs RR Live: OUT!Virat Kohli is gone! He is out for 70 runs off 42 balls. Jofra Archer provides Rajasthan Royals the crucial breakthrough. It might have come too late for them.
