KKR captain Eoin Morgan elected to bat first and how bad will he be ruing the decision now? His side are three wickets down inside the opening 3 overs. Rahul Tripathi was the first batsman to be dismissed after edging a Mohammed Siraj delivery to wicket-keeper AB de Villiers. Nitish Rana followed the next delivery clean-bowled by Siraj and four deliveries later Shubman Gill went back after top-edging Navdeep Saini to mid-on.
OUT! Shubman Gill now departs. KKR have lost three wickets in the last five deliveries. Gill, who was at the other end watching two wickets fall in successive overs, tried to pull a length delivery but top-edges it to Chris Morris at mid-on.Ā Shubman Gill c Chris Morris b Navdeep Saini 1(6)

Shubhman Gill and Rahul Tripathi open the innings for KKR while Chris Morris starts with the ball for RCB. This is an excellent first over from Morris with only two singles and a wide coming from it. KKR are playing with an extra specialist batsmen today so they need to score big.
