RCB got off to a good start as Virat Kohli and Padikkal were looking good in the middle. However, RCB lost their skipper on the last ball of the fourth over. Everyone was talking about Kohli’s dismissal when Ishant Sharma castled Padikkal with an outstanding ball. He pitched the ball at the off stump and it got straightened after pitching. Padikkal had no answer for this ball and played all around it. He got out after scoring 17 runs off 14 balls.
