MI vs RCB, 18th Match at Pune, IPL, Apr 09 2022 - Match Result

welcome back, Maxi! Half-tracker outside off. Maxwell goes for the switch hit, and thumps a left-hander's pull behind square for four

over the stumps. Full on middle, and Kohli presses forward to defend. Ball doesn't turn as much, and the ball goes past the bat's inside half. Hits the front leg, and lbw appeal is given out! Has Brevis taken a wicket off his first IPL delivery? And that too Kohli? Hold on, young man, Kohli has reviewed.- This is close because the ball is close to the bat's edge AND the pad. What will the TV umpire decide? He decides that the ball is too close to the bat and pad at the same time, so he has to go with the on-field umpire's decision (of out) on the bat/pad issue and doesn't have evidence to overrule it. The rest is decided by technology, as ball-tracking says that's crashing into middle. Kohli isn't happy, but he has to go for 48 and Brevis has a first baller!

DK turning it on!. Usual transmission from Dinesh Karthik, so quick off the blocks always. Doesn't bother to see Bumrah's final ball of the evening off, instead sees the short ball and pulls in front of square for six.

terrific from Kohli and DK, forcing the pressure and errors from Mumbai. Length ball on middle, and Kohli very gently tapped it to midwicket. Called for two early, and DK was going to be in comfortably at the bowler's end, but the fielder Tilak makes an awry throw, and that's another overthrow run for RCB.
