Both the teams made one change in their respective XIs as for RCB, Siddharth Kaul replaced Mohammed Siraj, whereas, Lockie Ferguson came in for Alzarri Joseph in GT’s XI. Despite scoring 14 runs in the first over, GT had a shaky start as they lost Shubman Gill in the third over itself owing to a brilliant catch by Glenn Maxwell in the second innings.

Josh Hazlewood was bowling the third over of the innings. He bowled a delivery slightly outside off shaping away from Gill and the batter poked on it. The thick edged was flying towards the third man. However, Hazlewood was provided with a slip and Maxwell was fielding there. He dived full length to his right and plucked a one-handed stunner producing one of the best catches in the tournament.
Here is the video of the catch by Glenn Maxwell:
