| 3.2 : 3.2: Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Deft from Kohli! Did not try to hit it hard just placed it to perfection. Not a lot wrong in this delivery. It is on a length around off, Kohli just places it fine away from Pant and away from third man for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Avesh Khan to Virat Kohli, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Avesh Khan's extra delivery does him good as he has struck gold with it. Kohli is visibly disappointed as he sees his off stump go for a toss. Huge wicket for Avesh as he finishes his first over by sending the Bangalore skipper back to the dugout. Good length ball outside off, Kohli looks to play it fine down to third man. He did it earlier in this over but this ball was too close for Super V to do that. The ball takes the inside edge and goes on |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Ishant Sharma to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! BOWLED! Back-to-back wickets for Delhi as Padikkal follows his skipper in the dugout.

He mistimed a shot earlier in this over and was lucky that it did not carry to Smith at long on but this time his luck runs out. Short around off, Patidar looks to smack it over long on but once again he does not adjust well to the length of this delivery. He mistimes it and hits it to the right of long on. Steven Smith in the deep has been excellent tonight. He runs to his right and in front and |
