After Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy tied down RCB to 157 for 8, Jos Buttler unfurled a special knock - 106* off 60 - to drive Rajasthan Royals to their first IPL final since 2008. With that, Buttler now has five IPL centuries - on par with Virat Kohli and one behind Chris Gayle.

Another early exit for Kohli
Kohli started confidently with a gorgeous flick for a six in the opening over from Trent Boult, but in just the second, Prasidh generated more bounce than he'd have anticipated and got him fishing outside off and nicking to Sanju Samson for 7 runs. Prasidh looked to make the most of the appreciable bounce on offer and even bowled three overs inside the PowerPlay, but couldn't make any more incisions. He still conceded just 14 in those overs as Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar dragged RCB to 46 for 1 in 6 overs.
