15.4: Harshal Patel to Virat Kohli, FOUR! That's it, Virat Kohli finishes the job! A six followed by a hat-trick of fours. RCB romp home on the opening night. This is banged in short by Harshal, outside off. Kohli waits for the ball to arrive. He hops and gets his hands high to get under the ball before playing the upper cut over the man at short third for a boundary.

6
15.1: Harshal Patel to Virat Kohli, SIX! That sounded so sweet! Cross-seam ball at 128 kph, right in the slot for Kohli. Virat plants his front foot towards the pitch of the ball and swings through the line to pump it over long on for a biggie.

Nitish Kumar Reddy runs to his right but loses his focus and goes over the fence before he can get his hands on the ball. A boundary.

0
18.6: Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal and Aniket Verma is gutted with himself. This is pitched up and outside off, slower again. Verma looks to loft it over cover, but does not go through the shot fully and ends up hitting it much straighter and into the hands of Virat Kohli at long off, who takes an easy catch.

0
18.5: Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, Fuller delivery, pace on and outside off. Aniket Verma steps across, changes his stance and goes for the reverse lap but misses. The umpire gives it a wide, but Rajat Patidar has taken the review to challenge the decision. The replay shows that the ball is well within the revised wide guideline, as the batter has also moved across and it is a fair ball. The on-field call is overturned.

6
18.4: Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, SIX! Sensational batting from Aniket Verma! Romario Shepherd misses his yorker and serves this right in the slot again, on middle. Aniket, in the form he is in, is never going to miss out on that and dispatches it cleanly over the bowler's head for half a dozen more.

4
18.3: Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, FOUR! A hit-me ball and gladly accepted! Short of a length and well outside off, again, no pace on the ball. Aniket Verma knows that third man is up in the circle and slashes hard at it. Gets a thick outside edge that flies over that fielder for a boundary.

6
18.2: Romario Shepherd to Aniket Verma, SIX! This is exactly why he needs to play most of the ball from here. Romario Shepherd delivers an off-cutter, on a length and in the slot. Aniket Verma gets his front leg out and launches it high and handsomely over the long on fence for a 100-METER biggie.

1
18.1: Romario Shepherd to David Payne, In the blockhole, on middle, David Payne jams it out towards long on for a single. Good result for SRH as Aniket gets back on strike.

SRH175/8
SRH Batting D Payne 1(1) A Verma 27(13)

1
17.6: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to David Payne, Pitched up and on off, David Payne drives it to long off and interestingly, they take the single. Maybe it would have been better if Verma had kept the strike.

0
17.5: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Harshal Patel, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust. Bhuvneshwar Kumar lands this short of a length and just outside off. Harshal Patel stays back in his crease and tries to flat-bat it down the ground, but fails to get any power on the shot. It flies straight into the hands of Devdutt Padikkal at long off, who makes no mistake and grabs his third catch of the match. Sunrisers Hyderabad are 174/8 now.

0
17.4: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Harshal Patel, Good length and on off, Harshal Patel stabs it out to extra cover.

1
17.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aniket Verma, DROPPED! Would you believe it? Virat Kohli has put down a catch. This is fuller and on middle, takes pace off. Aniket Verma looks to go big down the ground but takes his eyes off and only mistimes it high in the air. Virat Kohli runs forward a long way from long on, gets to the ball, but fails to hold on to it. He will be disappointed with that effort. Aniket only takes a single, as he thought he was a goner.

4
17.2: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aniket Verma, FOUR! Cheeky and effective! Bhuvneshwar Kumar bangs in a slower bouncer, on middle, keeps rising. Aniket Verma does well to hop up and reach for that and upper cuts it over the keeper's head for a boundary.

2
17.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Aniket Verma, Back of a length and just outside off, Aniket Verma slaps it wide of long off for a couple of runs.
