SIX! Sandeep Sharma to Venkatesh Iyer. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. That's the end of the first innings. A big final over takes Royal Challengers Bengaluru past the 200 mark. Rajasthan Royals began really well with the ball, with five wickets in the first half of the innings but Bengaluru batters continued their aggressive approach to keep the runs flowing. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals, but skipper Rajat Patidar held firm at one end, anchoring the innings with a brilliant 63 and making a crucial impact in setting up this total, and Venkatesh Iyer did his impact role brilliantly. For the Rajasthan Royals, Jofra Archer, Ravi Bishnoi, and Brijesh Sharma picked up two wickets each. Can Rajasthan Royals chase this down, or will Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully defend their total? Do join us for the run chase.
