As mentioned above, Kohli, Du Plessis and Maxwell stroked fifties with the bat as RCB posted 212 runs in their allotted 20 overs. “Felt better, haven’t really done it for five months. Nice to get some match rhythm. To do it front of the home fans is special. I am certainly over the rehab, it’s a tiring routine that I’ve to go through. Hopefully I’ll be back to full fitness in a couple of months. This is a nice and big step forward. There was a bit of variable bounce,” Maxwell said in mid-innings break.
“The ball were keeping low from a back of a length. It’s direr than the other night. Bishnoi and Krunal bowled extremely well in the first few overs. They kept us back after an electric powerplay. We have to be really good with our lengths and hopefully we can continue to hit the top of the stumps. I got one over in the first game which was exciting, it’ll be nice to get to the bowling crease and then run around the outfield a bit,” he added.
