They kept the left handed batsmen – Yashasvi Jaiswal and devdutt padikkal – Guessing with out-of-the-way movement, and barely anything can be delivered.

When R Ashwin came for his last over, RCB needed 82 for seven, with half the team going; Dinesh Karthik had just arrived. Two straight sixes and a couple of sweeps and reverse-swept fours came from Karthik in the over of 21. Samson brought Chahal back to the 17th spot, but by then Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed had also taken the fast bowlers for runs and could risk getting the leg-spinner out.
