Key Stats
19.2 Jaydev Unadkat to Mohammed Siraj
OUT! Caught. Jaydev Unadkat to Mohammed Siraj. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Gowtham, dropped catch by Samson. That's gone a mile into the night sky, Samson settles underneath it but can't hold on. Gowtham is aware of the situation though to snaffle the ball on the rebound and save the blushes of his mate. Rajasthan Royals win, Royal Challengers Bangalore are eliminated. What a match we have just witnessed. With the eyes of the world on the Royals in England, the Royals in Jaipur are equally deserving of our attention after an extraordinary display tonight. RCB seemed to be running away with things with AB de Villiers and Parthiv Patel cruising along, before legspin was introduced with a devastating effect. Shreyas Gopal ripped through the visitors middle order, taking 16-4 in one of the best bowling spells of the season. Heinrich Klaasen was on fire with the gloves, three stumpings and an outstanding one-handed catch for him. That all came after a composed knock by Rahul Tripathi set things up for the hosts. The Royals will now be keeping a close eye on other results, whereas it's back to the drawing board for RCB after another disappointing season.

12.4 Shreyas Gopal to AB de Villiers
OUT! Stumped. Shreyas Gopal to AB de Villiers. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to wicketkeeper, by Klaasen. He's got another, this is unbelievable from Gopal. It has to be a good delivery to get AB out and this is an absolute peach of a googly. It dips and spins back through the gate as the South African legend overbalances, and Klaasen once again has lightning quick reflexes to finish the job. We are watching RCB's season unravel before our eyes in Jaipur.

OUT! Caught. Ish Sodhi to Colin de Grandhomme. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge to first slip, by Rahane. Snaffled at first slip, Sodhi joins the party now as RCB find themselves in a spin. This is a classic legspinner's dismissal, drawing the batsman into a big booming drive and findind enough turn to take the edge. Rahane accepts the chance with glee as the men in blue go wild.

Over 12. 9 runs. Bowler: Ish Sodhi. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 5-96(rr 8.00)

10.3 Shreyas Gopal to Mandeep Singh
OUT! Stumped. Shreyas Gopal to Mandeep Singh. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, missed to wicketkeeper, by Klaasen. Another for Gopal, legspin is turning this match on its head. Mandeep is drawn down the pitch by the flight and loop, but it dips and turns to beat the outside edge leaving Klaasen to do the rest. RCB were cruising a few overs ago but now find themselves in a real fight. Crucially for them, AB is still in the middle.
10.2 Shreyas Gopal to Mandeep Singh

8.6 Shreyas Gopal to Moeen Ali
OUT! Caught & Bowled. Shreyas Gopal to Moeen Ali. Googly half volley, down leg side on the front foot pushing, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled back to bowler, fielded by Gopal. Tamely spooned back to the bowler who gobbles it up with two hands above his head. Gopal is doing the business for the Royals, a double-strike in that over to bring this contest back into the balance. Moeen will be disappointed with that, he fell over the googly and popped it back in soft fashion.
8.6 Shreyas Gopal to Moeen Ali
Over 9. 3 runs. Bowler: Shreyas Gopal. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 3-77(rr 8.56)

8.3 Shreyas Gopal to Parthiv Patel
OUT! Stumped. Shreyas Gopal to Parthiv Patel. Slider length ball, off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper, by Klaasen. Sharp work by Klaasen, the bails are off in a flash and Parthiv isn't even hanging around for the third umpire to make his decision. He knows he's overbalanced and is out of his ground, so an important wicket for the Royals. Legspin does the trick as it so often does in this format.
8.2 Shreyas Gopal to AB de Villiers

7.2 Ish Sodhi to AB de Villiers
FOUR! Ish Sodhi to AB de Villiers. Leg spinner back of a length, middle stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Archer. Swatted powerfully to the deep where Archer makes an awful mess of it. He's not having the best of games today.
7.2 Ish Sodhi to AB de Villiers
Over 8. 8 runs. Bowler: Ish Sodhi. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1-71(rr 8.88)
7.1 Ish Sodhi to AB de Villiers
FOUR! Ish Sodhi to AB de Villiers. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, well timed past third man for 4 runs. He makes this shot look so easy, like he could play it in his sleep. That's how to welcome a new bowler into the attack.
