RCB, after being put in to bat by GT, found themselves in deep trouble early on.
The top-order crumbled under pressure, with Virat Kohli (7), Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt, and Devdutt Padikkal all failing to make an impact.
Mohammed Siraj (3\/19) led Gujarat\u2019s fiery bowling attack, dismissing Salt and Padikkal with sharp deliveries that exposed their eagerness to play expansive shots. By the end of the 8th over, RCB was reeling at 49 for 4.
However, Livingstone (54 off 40) fought back with a powerful display of hitting, smashing five sixes in his knock. His partnership with Jitesh Sharma (33 off 21) and later with Tim David (32 off 18) helped RCB recover to a respectable 169 for 8.<\/p>\n
