SRH 26-0 (2 Ovs) vs RCB | SCORECARD

Bhuvneshwar Kumar shares the new ball, coming over the wicket- but this time, it's in Royal Challengers Bengaluru colours. After years of spearheading the Sunrisers Hyderabad attack, it's a strange sight seeing him bowl against his former side.

Travis Head wastes no time, punching the first ball for a boundary and following it up with a couple of runs. He swings and misses next but still manages a single. Abhishek Sharma then takes charge - first crunching a boundary, then launching a massive six over deep midwicket. A single to end the over makes it 18 runs off it.

A flying start for SRH - they're 26 for no loss after just two overs.
