RPS complete a 61-run victory

That's it. RCB's season all but over. It's a 61-run defeat. Seventh defeat in 10 games including one washout. They can't seem to get anything to go their way. Kohli and Vettori look emotionally knackered. Last four games left now, they'll just want to enjoy it.

Let's talk about RPS. This win should strengthen their push for the top-four. They are fourth and should fancy their chances here on.

Virat Kohli falls after 50

Only consolation, if anything for RCB, is that Kohli has gotten another half-century. Don't think he would care one bit. Looks to step out to Daniel Christian - can only slice his shot to deep extra cover. Gone for 55. Has been that kind of a season for RCB.

And another:

Adam Milne chips a googly tamely to mid-wicket. Second wicket for Imran Tahir. Seven down and now even Kohli is struggling with his timing. The last team to be bowled out in three successive games was Kochi Tuskers Kerala!

The procession continues

It's going to be three consecutive all-out's for RCB, isn't it? Pawan Negi hit a Tahir googly straight down long off. Oh RCB! It's 61 for 6

Baby and Binny depart

Kohli has forlorn look on his face. Abysmal batting from RCB. Baby and Binny had chances to prove their mettle in the franchise. And both have gone as quickly as they came. All they had to do was turn the strike over. Baby chips Washington Sundar to mid-wicket. Binny attemps a pull shot and holes out at fine leg. 49 for 5 in 10 overs. Vettori is stunned.
