17.6: Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli, SIX! Virat Kohli finishes things off in style! A slower one from Arshad Khan, full and on middle, in the slot as well. Kohli clears his front leg and launches it over the long on fence for a biggie. A maiden IPL title was years in the making, but a second has followed immediately. RCB ARE CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN.

1
17.1: Arshad Khan to Jitesh Sharma, Short of a length and on off, Jitesh Sharma runs it down to deep third for a single. Arshad has gone down to the ground and looks like he is suffering from cramps here.

15.6: Arshad Khan to Virat Kohli, Kohli survives! Arshad Khan serves this fuller and around off, Virat Kohli looks to loft it down the ground but miscues it off the bottom half of the bat. It flies towards mid on, where Shubman Gill dives forward and grabs it with both hands. He is claiming the catch, but Kohli is not going anywhere. The third umpire is called upon to check the catch. The replay shows that when Gill's hands hit the ground, the ball just pops out, and some part of the ball is in contact with the ground. It is Not Out, and Kohli throws a punch in delight. He wants to stay till the end.

1
19.5: Rasikh Salam to Washington Sundar, FIFTY for Washington Sundar, it's been a lone hand from him, but a solid one as well. Fullish length outside off, Sundar goes deep in the crease, gets low and smacks it to deep cover for just a single.

Romario Shepherd, with those bucket hands of his, takes it comfortably, and Rasikh has three wickets in the Final.

0
18.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jason Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets the length spot-on and joins Kagiso Rabada on 28 wickets, equalling the record for most wickets this season. A surprise bumper from Bhuvi, not all that quick at 130 clicks, but it comes in over the front shoulder. Jason Holder looks to take it on but gets a top edge that flies over the keeper's head. Josh Hazlewood at short third calls for it and Jitesh Sharma leaves it alone. Josh pouches it safely and GT are 7 down.

GT137/6
GT Batting J Holder 7(4) W Sundar 42(32)

4
17.6: Josh Hazlewood to Jason Holder, FOUR! The extra ball does cost RCB dearly. Hazlewood looks for the yorker on off, but misses his mark. Jason Holder hangs deep, gets under the flight of the ball and pummels it flat over the bowler's head for a boundary.

1
17.5: Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, Length again, drifting down leg again. Sundar tucks it through backward square leg and picks up a single.

1WD
17.5: Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, WIDE! Hard length, slipped down leg, Sundar awkwardly looks to tuck it away but misses. There is half an appeal for a caught behind, and RCB take a review. The third umpire is called in, and UltraEdge shows that the ball is nowhere near the bat or the glove.

4
17.4: Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Oh, a valiant effort, but not quite enough to stop the boundary. Full on leg, clipped away with stellar timing from Sundar and to the left of deep mid-wicket. Kohli sprints across the turf, dives in and tries to flick it back, but he flicks it onto the ropes.

1
17.3: Josh Hazlewood to Jason Holder, Shortish length again, at the batter. Holder gets into a side-on stance and pulls it wide of Rasikh Salam at short fine leg. However, there is a fielder at deep backward square leg and it will just be a single.

1
17.2: Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, Just back of a length, on middle, flicked away through mid-wicket for one.

4
17.1: Josh Hazlewood to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Poor line from Josh. Slower and shorter, but down leg. Sundar gets inside the line and manages to get enough bat on it to take it very fine towards deep fine leg for a boundary.
