Jasprit Bumrah was brought back into the attack as Royal Challengers Bengaluru pushed deeper into their chase, but Jitesh Sharma greeted him with a crisp boundary to set the tone.
He followed it up with a single, while Krunal Pandya showed remarkable composure against high-quality bowling. The left-hander defended solidly, worked the ball into gaps, and kept rotating strike despite Bumrah's control.
Krunal also picked up crucial runs, including a well-run double to deep square leg, continuing what has been a standout knock under pressure. The contest between bat and ball stayed intense, with both sides refusing to give an inch.
By the end of the over, RCB added 8 runs and reached 118 for 4 after 15 overs, needing 50 runs from 31 balls -- with Krunal firmly holding the chase together.
