Slower one from Yash Dayal from the back-of-the-hand and on a good length around off. SKY goes right across the off stump and looks to swing it away but ends up skying it high up and just to the leg side. The bowler and the keeper both charge towards it and neither of them calls for it. It ends up being a collision instead of a simple catch which was probably for the keeper and hopefullyDayal and Jitesh Sharma are both fine as the physio is out to perform a concussion check.

Yash Dayal to Rohit SharmaOUT! TIMBER! Yash Dayal has the last laugh here and Rohit's fast start has been brought to a halt! Full and straight around off and middle at 138 clicks. Too full and swings back in late as Rohit Sharma looks to flick across the line and ends up playing all around it. The ball knocks the leg stump out of the ground as Dayal goes up in celebration. Sharma departs for 17 (9) and MI are 21/1!

Right then, a new week in the 2025 IPL has kicked off with an entertaining contest, setting things up for the rest of the week. Next up, we have a double header lined up on Tuesday, 8 April for all the fans. First up, it will be Kolkata Knight Riders welcoming Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens and that game will begin at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). This will be followed by a contest between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in Mullanpur and that one will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can also tune in a lot sooner for the build-up of both those games. Cheers!
Halt! There seems to be a discussion between the square leg umpire and the keeper, Jitesh Sharma. Not quite sure about what. The RCB skipper and the other umpire also get involved and it seems the discussion was regarding the keeper moving about.
Trent Boult is in next.
Deepak Chahar walks out to bat now.
19 needed off the last over. Krunal Pandya has the ball in hand. Can he defend 18 runs?
Mitchell Santner is in next.
Who will bowl the crucial 19th over? Josh Hazlewood or Krunal Pandya? Or somebody else like Liam Livingstone? It will be Hazlewood. Make or break for both sides in this over.
Naman Dhir is in next.
A slight halt in play and it seems like we are having a change of ball. The current one seems to have lost its shape and a different ball is now is picked up by the umpires.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Wow, this is turning out to be one of the games of the 2025 IPL and against a fair bit of odds, at this stage, MI seem to be in front. They have scored 54 runs in the last 3 overs and now need a further 52 in the remaining 4 overs. Hardik Pandya has just come and played a blinder with Tilak Varma being relentless at the other end as well. RCB will know that a wicket here and one quiet over and they will be back on top. Let's see who comes clutch at the death.
16 runs off the over with 2 balls to go.
The captain of MI, Hardik Pandya, makes his way out to the centre.
Halt! The physio is out to check on Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal. Both look fine and are ready to resume.
Yash Dayal (2-0-26-1) is back into the attack, replacing Krunal Pandya.
Tilak Varma walks in at number 5.
STRATEGIC BREAK! RCB will be the happier side after the first 6 overs of the chase as they have seen the back of both MI openers and the scoring rate is under 10 as well. Mumbai have the batting to gun this down and they won't be too much fussed right now but they will be hoping for a substantial partnership to lay the platform for them. A crucial middle phase is coming up as MI look to fight back and RCB look to search for more wickets. Suyash Sharma is the Impact sub for RCB, replacing Devdutt Padikkal and he is right into the attack.
Suryakumar Yadav walks in at number 4.
Will Jacks is in at number 3.
Who will bowl from the other end? It will be Yash Dayal.
