Siraj picked up 3 wickets by conceding only 8 runs in his stipulated four overs.
KKR skipper Eoin Morgan opted to bat first after winning the toss and his decision turned out to be a disastrous one. From the very second over, RCB bowlers wreaked havoc on Knight Riders’ batting line-up and it continued till the 20th over.
The pace trio of Mohammed Siraj, Chris Morris (0-16) and Navdeep Saini (1-23) bowled one fantastic over after another as KKR lost half their side with just 32 runs on the board. In particular, Siraj proved to be a nightmare for KKR batsmen as he picked up 3 wickets by conceding only 8 runs in his stipulated four overs.
The spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal (2-15) and Washington Sundar (1-14) also bowled economically and claimed three wickets between them.
With such a magnificent bowling effort, RCB eventually restricted KKR to a paltry 84/8 in 20 overs. Captain Morgan was the top-scorer with 34-ball 30.
Cricket experts were mighty impressed by RCB’s herculean bowling performance, led by Mohammed Siraj.
