RCB opener Phil Salt, known for his aggressive batting style, struck an amazing four between extra cover and mid-off as Trent Boult tried to swing the ball from just outside off. On the very next delivery, Boult destroyed the stumps of Salt with a full inswinger start from the middle stump.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 20th game of the IPL 2025 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Hardik announced the return of Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma, while RCB went with the same squad.

At the end of the power play, RCB smashed 73 runs with the loss of 1 wicket.
