'First ball the length was a bit short and then I sensed need to bowl full to get some swing and that was the plan (for first wicket). The lockdown was really important for me, because I used to get hit for boundaries very often before that. I worked on my plans, my fitness and my bowling and it's all paying dividends now. I always try to improve in every department of the game because I understand it is important to contribute in whichever way possible. Always rated myself as a decent fielder, misfields can happen but I take my fielding seriously,' said Mohammed Siraj.

Mohammed Siraj has been adjudged Player of the Match for bagging four wickets for 22 runs in 4 overs.

"The table can't define your team. It's towards game 13 or 14 we can try and focus on what we need to do. Faf batted really well on that pitch. His innings ensured we had that 20-30 extra at the end. The pitch was very rough underneath, there was not enough water there I guess. There was hardly any sixes hit off the back foot against the spinners. The strategy was to bat deep to have a crack at 190. Told them (the bowlers) that the target was more than enough. Cannot afford to take the game deep, especially when they lost 6-7 wickets. The batting line ups are deeper, but we also have options in our bowling. At the halfway stage, tha talk was to take the game to the opposition and you kind of break the game open when you pick up 4 wickets in the powerplay," Kohli said.

"(On the score) I thought we bowled really well as a group. The way Faf and Virat played was good. I did not think they got away from us too much. In the end, we just did not bat well enough. They bowled pretty well as well but we lost wickets. The conditions were quite strange as well. we thought it would rain at one stage, with all the lightning and thunder. (On the pitch) It was a really good wicket with good-sized boundaries, you want a fair contest between bat and ball. Just a couple of things with the bat that we might regret but we move on to Saturday. The games come thick and fast, so it is about learning from this," Curran said.

Harshal sends Jitesh back into the hut and Punjab have been bowled out for 150 runs in 18.2 overs.

The game is swinging like a pendulum. You would reckon RCB has the upper hand with nine down.

Siraj has rattled Ellis with his pace and knocked his stumps over. RCB is just a wicket away from victory.

Siraj has done it again. He has bowled Harpreet Brar and provided RCB a much-needed wicket. 

The match is going right down the wire. Fasten your seat belts, we might be in for a ride.

Virat Kohli has dropped Jitesh Sharma. It was a sitter form Kohli's standards but the stand-in skipper has failed to cling on it

Courtesy of Jitesh's onslaught, 37 runs are required off 24 balls ; Quite gettable Punjab would believe.

Jitesh is hammering RCB bowlers all across the park and keeping PBKS in the hunt.
