However, Yusuf his partner was ruled out by the third umpire as run out. It was a close decision but the bat seemed to be in the air and the third umpire ruled him out. Shakib Al Hasan came into bat at No 5 position in the batting line-up.

Gambhir then lost the plot by trying to repeat the shot, but was caught down the leg side by the wicketkeeper of Bangalore setup, Yogesh Takawale. A fine start by Bangalore, who are desperate to win the game to stay alive in the competition. The error prone, Ashok Dinda bowled the second over of the game for IPL 2014.

Pandey then played a square drive off Dinda’s bowling. It was another of those juicy half volleys bowled by Dinda. A fine start by Pandey.
