Krunal Pandya's very smart bowling turned the game on its head as he first slowed down KKR down and then took out their middle order. And then Phil Salt just continued from where he left off to set the stage for Kohli to finish the same. The big takeaways - (a) Hazlewood is fit and bowling as well as ever (b) Krunal is very effective and (c) the RCB batting is looking very scary.2025-03-2225 min
