Pollard (Man of the Match): “I just thought these are situations when champions are made. I thought of that and struck to my strength, hit it down the ground. Krunal came in and showed his maturity too. It was a matter of watching what their bowlers. We decided that if we get a six or four off every spinner’s over, we will get close if we keep it ticking and not play any dot balls. Personally I’ve never felt out of form. I’ve been hitting it well in the nets and these are the times you’ve to dig in. At the moment, the momentum is with us.”

Rohit: “Was a great effort with the bat. We always had the belief. We’ve always had guys pull things out in those situations, to show character. Pollard and Krunal did exactly that.

15:05 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of match 12 of IPL 2017 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians.

RCB, a team with enormous batting riches, has not hit the right notes in this year’s IPL. Chris Gayle, who was dropped in the last match against Kings XI Punjab, has been a worry and stand-in skipper Shane Watson has failed to demonstrate his all-round skills. (ALL THE RESULTS)

South African AB de Villiers, who displaced Gayle in the RCB playing XI, was an instant hit. De Villiers smashed an unbeaten 89 off just 46 balls to help Royal Challengers Bangalore post a respectable 148 for 4 wickets at Indore’s Holkar Stadium, but Kings XI Punjab were the better team on the night.

Virat Kohli’s arrival should bolster the batting. The young Indian captain smashed four centuries in IPL 2016 but his form in the recently-concluded Test series versus Australia was below his super standards.

On the back of home wins, Mumbai Indians will be upbeat. MI have a 11-8 win-loss record against RCB. Mumbai Indians beat Royal Challengers Bangalore both times last year, chasing.
