Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bowl first as a result we will get to witness Devdutta Padikkal and Aaron Flinch who are in the first two lineups to bat from RCB as B. Kumar bowls them.
D. Padikkal hits 6 boundaries in 4 overs leading the match to a slow and steady start. The very next ball which M. Marsh bowled out twisted his ankle and was seen limping but yet we see him adamant to bowl but we see him walking off in the middle of 4.4 overs and Vijay Shankar comes to the field and completes the over.
Fabian Allen replaces Mitch Marsh as a substitute.
Vijay to finish the remainder of the over.

RCB is fortunate to have a free hit which turns out to be their first opening maximum for the team. The 4th over ends with a dot ball and Sandip Sharma comes in to bowl the 5th over. Sharma gives out two dot balls and 5 runs in a total of this over and its the end of the Power play which makes RCB stands at 53 at the loss of 0.
Our debutants have arrived and how! 🔥
