4 Number of players to end on the losing side despite taking a hat-trick.
The win, which is their third in four matches, means Mumbai remain at the top of the table having played four games while RCB are left in sixth place.
Earlier in the match, Mumbai Indians managed to stifle the home side to making just 142 runs for the loss of five wickets, with Virat Kohli's half century being the standout performance.
But it was too late in the day and Krunal first hit a boundary off the first ball of the 19th over and Hardik hit a huge six to seal the deal with 7 balls to spare.
Badree first got rid of Parthiv who tried to clear the infield but found Chris Gayle at cover.
Both captains had mentioned at the toss - Mumbai won it and chose to bowl - that the pitch seemed drier than usual, and Mumbai's bowlers quickly cottoned on.
The Australian spinner Nathan Lyon says he is not the type to give rival cricketer Virat Kohli the cold shoulder if he spotted him at the local pub.

And while Kohli will play better innings than this as the IPL 2017 season rolls along, like De Villiers in the last game, the RCB captain showed, the truly great players don't need a game or two to settle in - it is business as usual once you step into the middle.
Watson's indifferent form might see Chris Gayle coming in to replace him.
The pair stuck to plan well and by the time Pollard went back to the pavilion, skying Yuzvendra Chahal to AB de Villiers at long off, with the scoreboad reading 126/6, the stage was set for Hardik Pandya to apply the finishing touch with his brother. What they will desperately be hoping for is to see captain Rohit Sharma back in the runs. Mitchell McClenaghan dismissed for none. If RCB's' slow build-up was supposed to lead to fireworks in the slog overs, they probably didn't account for having new batsmen at the crease on a hard pitch to start hitting immediately. The West Indian opener would fall just three runs short of becoming the first man to the 10,000-run mark in T20 cricket.
In the next two balls, 7 for 2 became 7 for 4. He waited for the ball to come in and slogged it for his runs.
Badree bowled out by the eighth over, and ended his spell with another wicket: Nitish Rana caught at backward point, failing to keep a cut down. Now with Kohli back into the side, we can expect these two to register some memorable partnerships together.
Mumbai Indians have an 11-8 winning record against Royal Challengers in the IPL. Krunal Pandya was Pollard's companion in the chase. The other RCB spinners, especially Pawan Negi, played it easy to Pollard. His partner Stuart Binny scored six runs as Bangalore failed get a boundary in the last 5.2 overs.
Mumbai needed 52 off five overs. "Pollard and Krunal Pandya, the way they batted, (was brilliant)".
