Pacers from both ends as Kartik Tyagi bowls from the other end. He starts with an overpitched delivery on the pads as Sooryavanshi flicks it through midwicket for a four.
KKR move out the fielder from slip and get a man at midwicket. But off the very next ball Sooryavanshi pushes at the length ball angled across and gets the edge which goes through the vacant slip region for a four. If the fielder had not been moved, it would have been a simple catch for him. Once again the captaincy of Rahane will raise a few question marks as removing the slip fielder so early has proved dear for KKR.
Sooryavanshi being watchful as he defends the next two balls and then clips the last ball for a single to retain strike.
Cameron Green comes into the attack. Sooryavanshi picks a single first ball before Jaiswal ramps the short ball over the wicketkeeper for a four.
But Green makes a good comeback, bowling four dots in a row to Jaiswal.
This has been a quiet start by Royals, scoring 20 from the first three overs at just above six per over.
