Until then, goodbye and take care!

6:27 PM IST The Man of the Match is YUZVENDRA CHAHAL. He starts by saying that when he bowled his first over, he thought of bowling stump to stump and bowl attacking lines and that Kohli backed him to bowl attacking even though the field was set defensively. Admits that when they were batting well, he bowled loopy ones and he bowled them wide of the stumps to build some pressure on the batters. Says that when he was bowling to Pandey, he bowled wide of the off stump and when he was bowling to Bairstow, he bowled it around the leg stump as it was harder to hit those. Continues by saying that when Shankar came on, Virat and ABD told him to bowl a googly and it worked. Ends by saying that he had rubbed some mud on his hands so that he could grip the ball easier.

6:27 PM IST The winning skipper, Virat Kohli starts off by saying it feels amazing and that it feels good to start off with a win and that they kept their composure. Praises Chahal as he bowled really well and that he showed tonight that if you have skills, you can get purchase on any sort of wicket and the way he backed his skill, he was the one who changed the game for Bangalore. Adds that they started off well. Padikkal and Finch played well to start them off. States that since AB played well in the last three overs, that helped them to push past the 160-run total. Continues by saying that the guys kept believing and the bowlers kept bowling attacking lines and it was good to see someone like Dube bowl three good overs.

6:26 PM IST AB De Villiers is in for a chat! He smiles and says that he is very happy and that he is happy for the boys and for a change they were on the right side of the game. Adds that he surprised himself and that it was important to come out with some confidence while batting. Praises the younger players such as Josh and Padikkal. States that it is tough to arrive in the IPL and it is very competitive and for a young player to arrive and play well is very good and these younger players play like they have played for 10 plus years and also says that this is good for younger players from all over the world. Continues by saying that he has taken Josh under his wing like how Boucher took him under his wing a long time back. Says that Padikkal is a quiet person but he is such a great talent.

6:25 PM IST Hyderabad skipper, David Warner, tells that it was a bizarre game! Says he doesn't remember if he ever got out like that. Praises Marsh for showing great courage. Hopes it is not very serious. Feels they had the game under their control. Admits that Chahal's last over was the turning point. Tells that he can't do much about this game but will look to address the mistakes in the coming matches.

6:15 PM IST Earlier in the game, asked to bar first, Bangalore got a rollicking start with young gun Padikkal firing in his debut game. He along with Finch added 90 for the opening wicket, with the Aussie limited over skipper playing the second fiddle. Bangalore stuttered in the middle overs but AB de Villiers with a fine half ton provided the final punch for Bangalore. It was a decent bowling performance from Hyderabad. They were smashed in the first 11 overs but pulled things back nicely. They failed to take wickets at regular intervals though. Marsh's injury didn't help their cause one bit.

6:12 PM IST Bangalore looked down and out by the 15th over of this innings. Umesh Yadav had a horror time with the ball and he was taken to the cleaners. However, Chahal kept things tight from his end. He dismissed dangerous looking Pandey first and then return to struck twice in two balls to force Bangalore back in the game. Eventually, Shivam Dube along with Saini made sure Hyderabad could never get to the target as they kept things tight and helped the team bag two points in the first game. Both bagged two wickets.

6:11 PM IST Chasing the total, Hyderabad lost skipper Warner in an unfortunate fashion. However, Bairstow along with Pandey added 71 and kept the run chase on track. Pandey fell but Bairstow continues his good work. He once again added an important stand, this time with Garg and it looked like he will take the team home easily. However, his decision to go after Chahal didn't play off and they eventually crumbled under pressure. Injured Mitchell Marsh walked out to bat but couldn't deliver.

6:01 PM IST WOW! What a collapse! Or shall we say a terrific comeback? Hyderabad were cruising with Bairstow looking solid out in the middle. However, he took a gamble and tries to smash the smartest bowler in the Bangalore camp. And his wicket meant that Hyderabad panicked and Bangalore have the start they would've wanted.

6:01 PM IST OUT! CAUGHT! That's game for RCB! Short and on middle and leg, Sandeep backs away and slams it well. He times it really well too. But there's Kohli waiting for the ball at long on. He paddles back and takes a fine catch. BANGALORE WIN BY 10 RUNS.

5:52 PM IST Right! Marsh gone! Maybe he could've come as the last man. That's not the case!

5:52 PM IST Fuller and around off, Natarajan pokes at it to get beaten.

5:51 PM IST OUT! CAUGHT! You got to feel for Marsh. He was really struggling there but came to bat for his team. Full and wide, Dube rolled his fingers on it. Marsh had to go for the big shot. He went for it. He had to reach out to do that. He ends up hitting it high in the air towards long on.

5:49 PM IST Back of a length ball on middle, pulled to long on for a single. Marsh is limping.

5:48 PM IST Mitchell Marsh will be the latest player to walk out to bat now.

5:36 PM IST OUT! RUN OUT! What is happening? A collision in the middle. And Hyderabad lose another one. Rashid is down too. Worrying sign for Hyderabad. They have already got one player injured in Marsh. Good length ball on middle, it is flicked towards deep mid-wicket. The call is for two straightaway. They go for it. Abhishek though is ball watching as he turns for the second. He bumps into Rashid in the middle of the pitch. Yadav sends a rocket throw from the deep. The keeper takes the bails off. Abhishek is gone. The more worrying part is, Rashid is down.

5:34 PM IST Quick run! Good length ball around off, Rahisd pushes it towards point and takes a quick run.

5:32 PM IST OUT! TIMBER! Another one and Hyderabad are bleeding now as they have lost three wickets on the trot. Garg looked to be cheeky but that proved to be the end of him. This shot was not really required at this stage as they could have still worked their way through and kept the scoreboard ticking. Good length delivery around off, Garg makes room and looks to scoop this behind the keeper's head but it tumbles off his helmet and hits the wickets which light up! Hyderabad need to compose themselves if they are to win this game!

He tosses the wrong 'un fuller and around off, Shankar comes on the front foot and looks to drive but the ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad to disturb the wood work. Chahal is pumped up, so is the skipper. Bangalore are right back in this game.

5:22 PM IST Strategic Time out signaled by the umpire! Bangalore and Chahal especially have done well to remove Pandey and Bairstow. They still need to bowl well if they are to win this game. Hyderabad are in pole position but they will need to bat smart in these coming overs to take Hyderabad over the line. They still require 43 runs in 28 balls. Who will come out on top? Vijay Shankar will walk out now to replace Jonny Bairstow.

5:21 PM IST OUT! TIMBER! Chahal strikes! We thought Bairstow will not take the risk against Chahal but he wants to finish it early. He won't be able to do that though. This is terrific stuff from the spinner. Chahl floats it full and on the pads of Bairstow. He moves towards the leg side and wants to sent the ball out of the park via a slog. He fails to get under the ball. The ball though shatters the timbers behind. Top knock from Bairstow but Hyderabad needed him to stay.

5:17 PM IST In the air... but falls short. Or is it a drop? Padikkal with a brilliant effort. Short ball on middle, Bairstow powers it over mid-wicket. The ball goes towards the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Padikkal is the man. He lunges forward and tries to gobble but it is just short. Saves three for his side.
