Jasprit Bumrah to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Bumrah drags the length back and takes pace off, on middle. Vaibhav watchfully nudges it in front of mid-wicket for one.
Jasprit Bumrah to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, ! No sighters needed for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Bumrah floats the one first up, right in the slot, on middle. Sooryavanshi brings his bottom hand into play and whips it over mid-wicket for a biggie.
That was some opening over. Absolutely rollicking from Jaiswal to put RR on a flier.
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! Cracked away! Chahar taken to the cleaners in the first over. 22 runs off it. An ideal start for the Royals.
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! A gift and Yashasvi Jaiswal accepts it gleefully. Chahar goes full in search of swing but dishes out a full toss, on off and middle. Jaiswal swings through the line and although he does not quite get hold of it, he hits it well wide of mid off to his left. The ball has enough legs to reach the fence.
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tailing back in, very full, on leg. Jaiswal wrists it neatly off the pads but picks out the fielder at mid-wicket.
Oh dear! What happened there?
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! Up and over! Chahar continues to miss his mark in terms of his lengths. This is a bit too full, outside off. Yashasvi stays leg side of the ball and swings at it. Carves it to the left of the man at backward point for a four.
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! All the way! Slightly fuller, a bit of shape back into the left-hander, on middle. Jaiswal clears the front leg and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen.
Deepak Chahar to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! BANG! Jaiswal and RR are on their way.
