 * **The Kishan-Klaasen Show:** Following the opening fireworks, Ishan Kishan stitched the innings together beautifully, anchoring yet dominating with a brilliant **79 off 44 balls**. At the other end, Heinrich Klaasen was at his brutal best, punishing the RCB bowlers to rack up **51 off 24 balls** in a massive 113-run partnership.

Skipper Rajat Patidar hit a spirited **56 off 39 balls** and Krunal Pandya contributed a hard-fought **41* off 31 balls**, but SRH's bowlers—led by Pat Cummins—kept a tight leash on the game to ensure the target remained well out of reach.
