Khaleel, who went for runs with the new ball, continues to leak runs in the 19th over.
Shepherd takes charge as he swats the first ball over midwicket for a six. The next ball is full but the tall right-hander hammers it down the ground for another six over long-off.
He has a big swing next ball but gets a thick outside edge which flies over short thirdman for a four.
Khaleel gifts Shepherd a full toss which easily despatches straight down the ground for the third six of the over.
Khaleel switches to round the wicket but no stopping Shepherd. The pacer tries the slower bouncer but the RCB right-hander manages to slice it over the covers for a six.
To add insult to injury, Khaleel has overstepped to concede a no-ball. But Shepherd can't make most of the free hit delivery as the CSK pacer beats him with the wide yorker.
RCB take the review but the ball is inside the wide tramlines as the decision stays.
The last ball is top edged over square leg for a four as Khaleel concedes 33 runs from the 19th over, having conceded four sixes and two fours.
RCB seize back the momentum courtesy of Shepherd's assault in the penultimate over.
