	Earlier, Royals had won the toss and opted to field but rain returned to delay the start of the game by three hours and thirty minutes.</p>
<p>
	The game finally began after a long delay, courtesy a commendable effort from the ground staff which readied the ground following multiple spells of heavy rain.</p>
<p>
	RCB skipper Virat Kohli (25 off 7) was on fire from ball one, depositing pacer Varun Aaron for a straight six. The loyal fans of the hosts, who stayed back for hours in the hope of a game, managed to get their money&#39;s worth with Kohli smashing Aaron for another six before AB de Villiers (10 off 4) got into the act as the first over went for 23 runs.</p>
<p>
	However, Gopal brought Royals right back into the game in the following over by removing Kohli and de Villiers off successive balls before sending back Marcus Stoinis for a memorable hat-trick.</p>
<p>
	With the following batsmen going for the big hits from the word go, RCB did manage to cross the 50-run mark.</p>
<p>
	Royals pacer Oshane Thomas too made instant impact by taking two wickets in one over.</p>
