Glenn Maxwell speaks after his carnage: "I haven't really done it for five months... to do it in front of the home fans was really outstanding. It's a tiring routine I have to go through (his rehab). There was a little bit of variable bounce off a back of a length. Bishnoi and Krunal bowled really well... kept us back."
Tautoru: "Winner of the first innings - @Mayank. What a prediction when no one else saw it!" --- How does one reach out to him if one has a vacancy for prophecy?!
9.19pm An innings of three parts: 56 in the first six overs - which was the powerplay - and that was followed by 48 in the next seven. And if you haven't calculated already, RCB smashed 108 off the final seven overs. Du Plessis was on 33 off 31 balls at one stage; he finished on 79* from 46. Maxwell crashed 59 off 29 deliveries, as balls flew all around the small boundaries at the Chinnaswamy. Big score to chase for LSG eventually, with Abhimanyu to bring the second innings to you.
Karthik to face the last ball
Mohan: "Raw Pace!!"

Ankit: "How good was Kohli in handling Wood in his first over!" --- The difference that it was in the powerplay
Navneet: "Last 2 overs 43 runs!"
Wood back
Last over. Maybe 220? The umpire asks the batters to hurry up, as they switch their gloves and bat.

Sparrow: "Maybe Mayank calculated this way - 20 in next 2 overs and 5 sixes in the last... Simple calculation" --- Rinku Max!
Unadkat back
Mayank: "How is the forecasted score only 198?? I would say 210" --- Wow, that is some calculation. Another 50 in three overs...
