Bangalore Royal Challengers will play Punjab Kings on Thursday in a tense match at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
Kings XI Punjab’s defense struggled after winning the toss and choosing to field first giving away three crucial catches including two inside the opening five overs of Virat Kohli.
The first time that Rohit Sharma was ever reprieved happened off, Vidhwath Kaverappa, where he tried to pull him from outside off but ended up getting it out from the leading edge as Ashutosh Singh could not take the ball going back into the point of possession when he retreated.
In another scenario in which Rilee Rossouw dived at short cover and couldn’t hold onto a powerfully struck shot, Kohli got another chance against over number 10 in Kawerapa’s second over.
With Harshal Patel taking a catch behind square leg on a pull ball for deep, Kaverappa scored 0 runs off it during his final over (fifth).
Like Mumbai Indians they are required to win this game else both teams will be eliminated.
