Obed McCoy takes a blinder
Glenn Maxwell came to the wicket at the fall of Faf Du Plessis for 25 off 27 balls. The Australian came out with an aggressive intent and went after the bowling right from the start. Maxwell was on 24 off 12 balls with 1 four and 2 sixes, when Boult got the big one. Bowling his last over of the innings in the 14th over, the last ball of his spell saw Boult bowl one short to Maxwell. the Australian went for the pull and McCoy who was standing at fine leg dived forward to take the catch. This sent the stadium into raptures as RR fielders congratulated the West Indian.

Patidar stands tall as Kohli disappoints again –
It was yet another sad day for Kohli and his fans as the former India and RCB skipper fell for mere 7 off 8 balls. He started his innings with a bang as he flicked Boult for a six, but from there it was all downhill. Prasidh Krishna got one to bounce and Kohli tried to fend only to get a thick edge behind to Samson. Du Plesis played some good shots before he too fell for 25 caught by Ashwin off McCoy. At the time of writing Rajat Patidar was out for 58 caught by Buttler off Ashwin to leave RCB at 130 for 4.
