Manan Vohra did not last long as he got in the very first over of Mitchell Starc, spooning a catch to David Wiese. There were some doubts over the legality of the catch but the replays confirmed it was a clean catch. Wriddhiman Saha got going with a maximum over mid-wicket but Murali Vijay, the other opener flopped again as Harshal Patel cleaned him up with a yorker. Glenn Maxwell did not last even five balls, losing his off stump trying to heave Sreenath Aravind. He has had a horrible IPL 2015 and was out for a score of one.

Earlier Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a huge total on board thanks to a belligerent ton from Chris Gayle, who hit 117. AB de Villiers chipped in with  an unbeaten knock of 47 runs. One of the best parts of the Gayle’s knock was that he was very much intended on timing the ball than just butchering them into the stands.
