What a Sunday for Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru! MI hammered Lucknow Super Giants to win five on the bounce, while RCB won a terrific game of cricket in Delhi, with Krunal Pandya and Virat Kohli putting on a superb show, soaking the pressure and turning the tide with a record partnership before Tim David finished things off in a flash. RCB win six away games on the bounce and dethrone Gujarat Titans to hold the pole position, with 14 points.
Virat Kohli takes the Orange Cap, while Josh Hazlewood gets a hand on the Purple Cap. There are two GT players (B Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna) chasing the glory, with the Titans travelling to Jaipur for the clash with the struggling RR tomorrow evening.
For now, this is AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh, scorers Paras Yadav and Raju Khariya and statistician Aman. Until next time, cheers and good bye.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the first team to win their first 6 away games on the bounce in the IPL's history!
Krunal Pandya (POTM): It is always good to get the result. Sometimes, the hard work you put in behind the scenes, when you get results, it is very satisfying.
[On getting promoted up the order] My role was clear, if we lose 3 early wickets. I can go and stitch a partnership. With Jitesh and David can take down the bowling. Glad to fulfill my role, that was given to me.
[On partnership with Kohli] I mean obviously, when Virat is there at the other end, it is always quite easy. I give him a lot of credit. He kept backing me, asked me to look to hit pockets. Lots of credit goes to him.
[On his bowling] I have always been economical. This is my 10th season. As a bowler, I wanted to be one step ahead. This year, I have worked a lot on my bowling. Varying my pace and knowing batters' strength and using it to my advantage.
[On his bowling variations] I mean if you see, in IPL, batsmanship is getting better. As a bowler, you have to be one-step ahead. I have bowled it in the past as well. Bowling a bouncer and wide yorker, I want to get in my armoury. I want to keep the batters guessing and if that is what I am bowling, it will work on my favour."

Player of the Match: Krunal Pandya
Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): "I think it was a total team performance. The way the bowlers executed their plans on this pitch was nice to see. We are a team who are not looking at the venues and play good cricket.
Chasing gave us a good clarity about the wicket. The bowling gave us the score as well. So, we could think clearly.
163 was a gettable score. Credit should go to the bowlers. They have done a great job. It is not easy for them to restrict the team to around 160. Hazlewood, Krunal and all the bowlers did their job.
Of course, it feels good. Whenever you lead RCB, it feels good. A lot of great players have led RCB, played for RCB and are playing now as well, so it is a great opportunity to learn from them. I am learning from them (Smiles)."
