Chahal: Was trying to vary my pace, just tried to mix my length and pace. A few balls were turning, so I tried to bowl that ball against Hardik. I always back my skills, this is the format where you go for runs, sometimes you get wickets. There's little dew, but we need to play well in the first six overs.
21:20 Local Time, 15:50 GMT, 21:20 IST: A disappointing batting effort, but credit to the 'BBC' trio of the Royals who kept it very tight and were relentless - Boult struck twice in the 1st over, followed it up with another in the 3rd and Burger had MI reeling at 20 for 4 in the 4th when he dismissed Ishan Kishan. A brief recovery followed as Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma counter-punched, but Chahal came into his own, dismissing both as MI once again slipped from 76 for 4 to 114 for 9. That 56-run run 5th wicket stand was the lone saving grace for the hosts who looked lost. The new ball swung and their batters looked helpless. 126 should be a cakewalk for the Royals, especially against an attack that conceded 277 in the last match, but MI will believe they can fight back if they strike early. The chase coming up shortly..
