23:31 (IST)30 Mar 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, RCB vs KKR: Down, but not (run) out 😳😱🤨😤🥳

With 16 runs needed from 11 balls, Dinesh Karthik squeezed a Venkatesh Iyer delivery to backward point where Umesh Yadav dived forward but couldn’t reach the catch. By the time, he was relieved with his survival, another danger awaited Karthik. For, his partner Harshal Patel was beside him, at the same striker’s end as he had run for the single. Yadav threw it at the striker’s end in reflex and missed. Only then Karthik ran across to the other end, reached, turned to put up his hand in apology at Patel. Good that Patel didn’t run himself out as he then smacked Venkatesh for two game-turning boundaries in that over to reduce the equation to 7 from the final over. Karthik smashed a six and a four off the first two balls to seal the deal. That near run out and the subsequent revival had mirrored the RCB`s chase: unnecessary self-induced trouble and the escape that took the game that should have been finished with overs to spare right down to the last over.

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 30, 202223:16 (IST)30 Mar 2022KKR vs RCB Live Match Score: FOURS!!!

Oh no!!! There was a chance of a run-out. The fielder threw it in the wrong end!!! That was a sure wicket. Big big moment!!! What a shot by Harshal for a four. Just scoops it over to the boundary. Excellent bowling from Venkatesh Iyer. Two back to back dots. And another 4. What a shot. 10 off this over. RCB 122/7 after 19 overs.

23:08 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR IPL 2022 Live: OUT!!!!

That`s another wicket!!! Oh my god!!! This game is going down the wire. Hasaranga hits it high and what a catch by Andre Russell. RCB baffled. They are 111/7 after 17.5 overs.

And another one for Tim Southee.Hasaranga looks to go big, but finds Andre Russell in the deep.Live - https://t.co/BVieVfFKPu#RCBvKKR#TATAIPLpic.twitter.com/e0B6IO4dHF

Southee to bowl his last over. Starts off with a wide. What an unbelievable catch by Jackson!!! What an amazing grab!!! Inside edge, big deviation and Jackson takes a one-handed catch. Rutherford departs. RCB 107/6 after 17.2 overs.

22:55 (IST)30 Mar 2022IPL 2022, RCB vs KKR Live: OUT!!!

Good start by Varun for the 16th over. Just 1 off the first 3 balls. Rutherford tries to hit one but does not get the required elevation. Hits his bat in frustration. That`s full toss and duly punished for a SIXXXX by Shahbaz. That`s his 3rd six. And gone!!!!! Stumpted. Shahbaz departs. RCB 101/5 after 16 overs.

...and Varun got us one!!!!#KKRHaiTaiyaar#RCBvKKR#IPL2022pic.twitter.com/WuZbL2Tkrw

Southee to bowl to Shahbaz and he opens with a wide. Extras again. Not what you need while defending a low total. That`s a big appeal for caught behind. Umpire does not seem interested. The bowler seems pretty convinced. UltraEdge shows no spike. Not out. On-field umpire got it spot on. 4 off this one. RCB 93/4 after 15 overs.

22:37 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR Live Match Score: SIXES!!!!

That`s two sixes in this over. Russell getting absolutely clobbered by Shahbaz. Royal Challengers getting closer and closer now. 15 off this over. RCB 85/4 after 13 overs.

Willey is gone. Caught by Rana after a ball off Narine. They are still in it. What a big big wicket for the Knight Riders. Can they seal this match? If only they had some more runs on the board. RCB 62/4 after 11 overs.

22:18 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR IPL 2022 Live: 10 overs gone

That`s another boundary by Willey. RCB would like that. KKR wouldn`t. It`s short and Varun gets punished again. Is that a wicket?? Referral for stumping now. No. Not out. Wiley is comfortably inside. 6 off this over. RCB 59/3 after 10 overs.

22:10 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR IPL 2022 Live Updates: Butter, Cream, then the knife 🧈🥛🔪

Umesh Yadav had just taken out an opener with a cracker of a delivery that burst up from back of a length to take the edge when Virat Kohli got ready to face him. It was almost a reprise of the wicket-taking delivery, kicking up outside off stump but Kohli pressed across to punch it so sweetly through covers. On air, in the Kannada commentary, former India player Vijay Bharadwaj oozed “Bennay! Bennay!” (Butter!), perfectly summing up the timing on that shot as the ball slipped away ever so smoothly. Next ball was fuller and straighter, hoping for an lbw, but Kohli wristed it through midwicket for another four.Two balls later, in the first ball of his next over, Yadav went for a screamer from hard length and got to kick it up again outside off stump. This time around though, Kohli seemed more tentative and had a poke at it. Edge and gone. A cracker of a delivery to terminate his former captain’s promising start.

22:08 (IST)30 Mar 2022IPL 2022, RCB vs KKR Live: FOUR!! SIXXX!!

Great timing by Willey to hit a four off Varun. That`s slapped through extra cover for four. And that`s a 6 to follow. Absolutely pounced on the delivery. One heck of a hit, that one. This time by Rutherford. KKR had a good start but if they only had a few more runs to defend. 12 off this over. RCB 52/3 after 8 overs.

Russell to bowl the last over of the powerplay. Was going good but that`s 5 wides. Not the runs you want to give away while defending a low total like this. Willey hits another four to put the pressure right on the KKR bowlers. 11 off this over. RCB 36/3 after 6 overs.

ANOTHER!!!! What a start by the KKR bowlers. Southee takes Faf. Opens him up with a bit of late swing, and the leading edge loops to backward point. RCB 17/2 after 2 overs.

Just the start @KKRiders needed!@y_umesh gets the big wicket of King Kohli and Southee removes skipper Faf. #RCB lose their top three! Details - https://t.co/BVieVfFKPu#RCBvKKR#TATAIPL#IPL2022pic.twitter.com/i8GOsv7B0j

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 30, 202221:39 (IST)30 Mar 2022Gone with the Wanindu 👐🏽🕳️😵‍💫🌪️🤕

“What do you like? Batting or Bowling?”  ‘I like both but fielding is my favourite”. That was Wanindu Hasaranga in an interview with Living cricket, a magazine in Sri Lanka. The cricketing gods served him irony. He bowled superbly to take four wickets to turn the knife into KKR but near the end of the innings, he had two mishaps. First, he was at short third man when the ball was slashed towards him. He got a bit of bad bounce and turn and the ball shot right through him and the bowler Harshal Patel gave him an anguished look. An over later, he was at deep backward point when Umesh Yadav sliced a square drive towards him. He should have expected the ball to turn from that slice but he didn’t and over ran the ball which turned and plummeted to his left to the boundary.

21:37 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR IPL 2022 Live: Double fours

Kohli comes to the middle and starts like a house on fire. 2 back to back boundaries as he takes it to Umesh Yadav. Gorgeous shots. RCB 10/1 after 1 over.

21:33 (IST)30 Mar 2022RCB vs KKR IPL 2022 Live Updates: GONE!!!

GONE!!!! Anuj Rawat departs. Exactly what Kolkata needed. Lovely delivery by Umesh Yadav. Big blow for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB 5/1 after 0.4 overs.

21:28 (IST)30 Mar 2022IPL 2022, RCB vs KKR Live: Wanindu`s Hang Loose celebration 🤙🏼 😎🎃🤙🏼

First there was Khaleel Ahmed breaking into the Cristiano Ronaldo pose after picking up a wicket. Now, Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga channeled his inner Neymar. After winkling out Shreyas Iyer, he stood statue-like in his pose, his fists by the side of the face, like a boxer taking a guard, his middle and index fingers curled in like a rap artiste. It’s one from Neymar’s wide repertoire of post-goal celebrations. This one goes by the name Hang Loose celebration, a dance move from Brazilian song Tá Tranquilo, Tá Favorável”. The Brazilian forward first unfurled during the Barcelona days and it later went on to become his most iconic style of celebration. Like Neymar, Hasaranga has many ways to celebrate wickets—the fist pump, the fist punch, both accompanied by a roar of joy. He is no football fan, but sometime last year, he stumbled on Neymar’s Hang Loose and decided to give it a spin of his own. An ersatz version perhaps, but so full of joy and fervour. The big question now: Who is gonna do a Messi to complete the loop?

21:15 (IST)30 Mar 2022IPL 2022 Live Score, RCB vs KKR: KKR all out for 128 runs

Huge sixxx by Umesh Yadav. These two are taking it to the RCB bowlers. Who would have thought!!! Full-toss and Yadav mows this flat over long-on. That`s another four to follow!!! And that`s cleaned him up in the next ball. Yadav departs. KKR all out for 128 runs.
