ROYAL Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were skittled out for 68 as the Indian Premier League (IPL) high-flyers suffered a nine-wicket drubbing at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
The feeble effort was the lowest score posted by any team in the IPL this season, and the writing was on the wall early for a side who entered the match sitting third in the table.

South African quick Marco Jansen took three wickets in the second over of the Bangalore innings on his way to figures of 3-25, removing Faf du Plessis (5), Anuj Rawat (0) and Virat Kohli (0) to earn man-of-the-match honours. The out-of-form Kohli has made just 13 runs across his last four IPL innings.

Indian medium-pacer T Natarajan weighed in with 3-10, as only two batters reached double figures for Bangalore, with Glenn Maxwell making 12 and Suyash Prabhudessai top-scoring with 15.

The innings was all done in 16.1 overs, and Sunrisers charged to their target at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, with Abhishek Sharma rattling along to 47 from 28 balls, playing the dominant role as captain Kane Williamson watched admiringly from the other end.

Sharma fell when he looked to hit a match-winning six, caught inside the ropes by Rawat off Harshal Patel, but new batter Rahul Tripathi blasted a maximum to make sure Sunrisers reached 72-1 in just eight overs.
Sunrisers climb above Bangalore thanks to this victory, jumping to second with five wins from their seven games.

DUCK DESPAIR STRIKES AGAIN FOR KOHLI
Kohli has been dismissed from the first ball he has faced in each of his last two IPL innings. He went this way against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 19, and this is the first instance of him recording a golden duck in consecutive games in the competition.

BANGALORE MARK ANNIVERSARY IN GRIM STYLE
Yesterday marked five years exactly since Bangalore were dismissed for their lowest score in IPL history, when they were demolished for just 49 when chasing 132 for victory against KKR
Kohli made a first-ball duck that day, too.
