Hardik Pandya to Tim David, SIX, that has gone the distance! A juicy full toss on leg, Tim David stays put and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a towering six. No need to run for those, everyone - including the batter and bowler - simply admire that ball sail into the stands
17.2
Hardik Pandya to Tim David, no ball, that's a big full toss! Well above the batter's waist outside off, Tim David has a swing and a miss. Free-hit coming up! Mumbai Indians review it, but the replays confirm it was above his waist comfortably. The onfield decision stays

Hardik Pandya to Tim David, FOUR, perfect start to the over. Short ball outside off, Tim David slaps it over covers for a boundary. Hardik Pandya is down on his knee, looks like he is in some pain. The physio walks out immediately to check on him. He's feeling dizzy, the Mumbai heat taking a toll on him. We'll have a slight delay due to the same. SKY, Rohit and Hardik have a discussion
Hardik Pandya [3.0-0-23-1] is back into the attack

Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! End of a fantastic knock by Rajat Patidar. This was on the fuller side, Rajat Patidar brings his bat down in a jiffy and lofts it straight to Tilak at long-on. Taken comfortably by the fielder and the RCB captain walks back to a standing ovation from his teammates. The set batsmen are gone in successive overs. Two relatively new batters at the crease. Kohli was visibly upset, threw his gloves and then his helmet as he went back to the dug-out. Rajat Patidar c Tilak Varma b Mitchell Santner 53(20) [4s-4 6s-5]
Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Mitchell Santner to Rajat Patidar, FOUR, fifty off 17 balls! Fraction short outside off, Rajat Patidar slashes hard away from his body and the outside edge races away to the third man fence. Had there been a slip in place, this would have been a chance
