Milestone
Wrapping up tonight's coverage on a happy note hoping for a quick recovery for Mitch Marsh who hurt his ankle while bowling. It was a pleasure bringing you all the updates from the match and I, Mohak Arora would like to thank you for staying till the end and going through the match with me and Arjun Bhalla. Buh-bye!
Yuzi Chahal, Player of the Match: When I bowled my first over, I realized I need to bowl stump-to-stump line and backed myself. At one point they were batting well and I was trying to bowl loopy ones and wide of the reach which helped in building pressure. When I bowled to Pandeu I was trying to outside off-stump and with Bairstow I bowled little fuller and when Vijay came Virat and AB told me to go for a googly and it worked. I put some mud on my hands to make sure there is no dew and really brilliant.
Virat Kohli, RCB skipper: It's amazing and last year we were on the other side of the results. We kept our composure tonight. Yuzi came in and changed the game for us. Tonight he showed that if you have skill, you can get purchase on any wicket and the way he came in and bowled attacking lines and he was the one in my opinion who changed the game. We started really well and Devdutt was really good and Finch was good too. AB batting in the last three overs helped us push it past 160 and as I said, the fact that we didn't let negativity slip into the bowling group was a great sign and Dube bowling those three overs was really good to see.
AB de Villiers: Very happy. Worked very hard for that win. For a change, we are on the right side of a close game early in the season As a 36-year-old you do doubt yourself, but we did work very hard in the training and I am very happy with the basics that we have done. Very competitive, the young players coming and looking like international players is really exciting to watch. I have taken Josh (Josh Phillippe) under my wing like Mark Boucher took me under his wing. Padikkal is a shy and quiet guy but I don't have to say much really, he looks like a really good talent.
David Warner, SRH skipper: I can't remember the last time I was out like that. There's four things that happened in this game that I have never seen before. A lot of courage for Mitchell (Marsh) to go out there and try. It doesn't look great for him, can't put any weight on his leg. Hopefully it isn't too bad, it was quite painful for him, so fingers crossed. We had the run chase in control and we knew that we had to go after their bowlers in the end. Probably the last over of Chahal was the turning point out there. We have to go back to the drawing board; we obviously can't fix what happened today but we have to go back and work hard before our next game in Abu Dhabi. There are talking points but the guys know what they have to do. Exciting times for Indian cricket and I can't wait to see what the young players produce.
SunRisers had a shaky start as they lost David Warner to a shocking run-out but Jonny Bairstow did well to hold off one end and keep the run-rate ticking as well from one end. His innings of 61 runs off 43 balls was ended by Chahal who had a brilliant spell of 3-18 in 4 overs. Saini and Dube took a couple of wickets each to help RCB start off on a winning note.
RCB had a good start to their innings as debutant Devdutt Padikkal scored a half-century which was backed by AB de Villiers' quick-fire 51 off 30 balls, helping them set a respectable target of 164 runs.
Hyderabad had it in their control as they required only 43 runs from 5 overs with 8 wickets in hand but Yuzvendra Chahal and Navdeep Saini took crucial wickets to get the win for the Royal Challengers.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have wrapped up this match by sealing a 10-run victory over the SunRisers Hyderabad.
19.4 Dale Steyn to Sandeep Sharma
W WICKET!!!! It's all over for SRH! RCB wins its season opener. Captain Virat Kohli takes the catch at long-on and finishes off the game. A short ball by Dale Steyn and Sandeep Sharma pulled the ball with a sweet connection but he does not possess that much power and Kohli takes the catch in the air jumping backward. RCB wins the match by 10 runs.
19.3 Dale Steyn to Sandeep Sharma
4 FOUR!!! Isn't it too late for SRH? Sandeep moves in the leg side and makes room for himself. He edges the ball and it goes past the third man for a boundary
19.2 Dale Steyn to Sandeep Sharma
2 Two more runs for SRH and Sandeep. A high full toss by Steyn and Sandeep works the ball in the legside towards long-on. 15 runs off 4 balls!
19.1 Dale Steyn to T Natarajan
1 Single to Natarajan as he plays the ball in the offside. 17 off 5 balls!

SRH needs 18 runs in the last over with just one wicket in hand. It's RCB's game, for sure!
18.6 Shivam Dube to T Natarajan
1 Another single for Natarajan as he played it over the bowler's head and the long-on fielder did well to keep it at a single run.
18.5 Shivam Dube to Sandeep Sharma
1 Sandeep heaves at it but the ball reaches the long-on fielder and a single is taken by the batsmen.
18.4 Shivam Dube to T Natarajan
1 A full-toss and Natarajan takes a single to give Sandeep the strike.
18.3 Shivam Dube to T Natarajan
0 A good swerving ball from Dube and it's straight in the gloves of Phillipe.
18.2 Shivam Dube to Mitchell Ross Marsh
W MITCH MARSH IS IN AND HE IS OUT! The Australian struggling to stand up properly and he hits it up in the air and Kohli is there to take the catch safely. The slower ball from Dube doing the trick, is he the death bowler RCB was looking for from a decade?
