Earlier, it was MI who won the toss and elected to bowl first knowing the conditions of their homeground. They had made just one change of bringing in Pollard in place of their opening batsman Martin Guptill, while RCB had made 5 changes getting more depth to their bowling side. Lokesh Rahul opened the inning along with skipper Virat Kohli, with Rahul giving a heads up to his side, but went out too soon. Kohli seemed to be struggling to get the right shots until AB de Villiers took the charge and once again supported his skipper. But the left-arm spinner did the trick for MI and broke a crucial building partnership between de Villiers and Kohli. It was Kohli first who had to make an exit by a spectacular catch by Tim Southee and soon it was de Villiers who was shown the way out, but Krunal rejoiced grabbing two crucial wickets.
