Royal Challengers Bengaluru brought in Romario Shepherd as the chase entered a tense phase, with the pressure firmly on.
Deepak Chahar returned to complete his spell and immediately tested the batters with variations. Krunal Pandya watched one sail past as a wide was called, but soon after, a slower bouncer struck him hard, sending him to the ground in visible pain. The physio rushed in as concern spread, though Krunal showed grit and opted to continue.
After a brief pause, RCB regrouped and rotated strike cautiously, managing only singles for the rest of the over.
After 17 overs, RCB reached 137 for 6, needing 30 runs from 18 balls -- with the match finely poised and Krunal still at the heart of the chase.
