Rohit Sharma smashed 38 in 24 balls while captain Hardik Pandya has been at his belligerent best since the very first ball he faced.
RCB were rattled early by the fall of Virat Kohli and Will Jacks inside the powerplay as Mumbai Indians chose to bowl first after winning the toss.
Kohli was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah after which Akash Madhwal got the wicket of Jacks. Captain Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar then steadied RCB with an 82-run stand that came in 47 balls.
Then came another two wickets in quick succession with Patidar falling soon after he scored a half-century and Glenn Maxwell for yet another duck in what has been a nightmare season for him. Du Plessis then crossed a half-century himself.
