Jason Holder continues, but starts with a wide down the leg side. Virat Kohli initially blocks, then explodes with back-to-back sixes, keeping Royal Challengers Bengaluru firmly in the chase.
But Holder strikes back in a big moment--Kohli is bowled after a brilliant 81 off 44 balls. A huge breakthrough for Gujarat Titans.
Kohli walks back disappointed after anchoring the innings superbly. It could have been even bigger--he was dropped on zero earlier in his knock, and that moment now looms large.
Jitesh Sharma walks in to join Rajat Patidar at the crease for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
He starts watchfully, pushing one back to the bowler before finding the fence late in the over with a well-timed boundary. The over finishes with 17 runs and a wicket, keeping RCB firmly in the chase.
After 14 overs, they are 158 for 3, needing 42 runs from 35 balls.
