Nitish Rana literally laughed out of disbelief, lying on the ground holding the ball in his chest. Devdutt Paddikal, the set batter, with a half century, walked out disheartened, as Sandeep Sharma, the bowler, walked towards Dev and did the consoling low high-five. Sandeep delivered a slower delivery, which Padikkal tried to hit straight down the ground but mistimed it completely—no proper power or elevation. The ball went toward mid-off where Nitish Rana was fielding. Rana had to backtrack a bit to get to the ball. It wasn’t a clean catch—he juggled it at least 6 times: first it popped out as he was falling back, then again as he reached out with one hand, and finally he managed to trap it between his hands and body while falling forward.

He smashed 4 boundaries and 3 sixes and maintained a strike rate over 180. Well, Sandeep Sharma took the captain Rajat Patidar's wicket in the same over. A back-of-length delivery from Sandeep that passed by kissing the other edge of the bat, and Dhruv Jurel does the rest of the job. Kohli, Padikkal Power RCB Surge Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a competitive 205/5 in their 20 overs, riding on Virat Kohli’s masterclass—70 off 42 balls with eight fours and two sixes.

Sandeep Sharma picked two crucial wickets, including Padikkal and Patidar, the latter edging to Jurel. Hasaranga dismissed Salt, and Archer sent back Kohli at a vital stage.
