19.2: Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! HIT HARD AND TAKEN! This was travelling at the rate of knots and Rahane probably had less than a second to react. Too full and just outside off, Ashutosh Sharma takes the front leg out of the way and tries to crash it over cover, but fails to get underneath it and slices it flatly to cover. Ajinkya Rahane runs back and takes a sharp catch above his head at the edge of the ring. Top catch from the KKR skipper. But an equally fantastic knock by Ashutosh Sharma.

6
18.5: Vaibhav Arora to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX! Oh, hello? Quite an audacious hit. Full and angled away outside off. Ashutosh shuffles a long way across, goes deep in the crease and prepares for the reverse ramp. Launches it over deep third with ease for a six. He has made that look so easy than it really is.

1
18.4: Vaibhav Arora to Vipraj Nigam, Kicks up from a length, around off. Nigam hops on the toes and cuts it uppishly to deep backward point for a single.

0
18.3: Vaibhav Arora to Axar Patel, OUT! TAKEN SPECTACULARLY! Anukul Roy with a moment of absolute brilliance in the field. He had a pretty average day in the ground fielding, but redeems himself now. Short outside off. Axar doesn't move his feet, swivelling across the line. Miscues the pull shot and it balloons into the deep square leg region. Anukul Roy running in from deep midwicket, dives to his left and takes it in his left hand around waist height, smartly keeping it off the ground as he slides through. Background check confirms it is a clean catch. A painfully slow innings comes to an end for Axar. DC are 128/6.

6
17.2: Kartik Tyagi to Ashutosh Sharma, SIX! Just clears the ropes! Very short and outside off. Ashutosh Sharma stays put this time, rises with the bounce and ramps it over the keeper and has enough wood on it to sail it over the ropes for a 57-meter six.

0
