Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been executing their plans on the fielding in recent times more often than not. On Wednesday, RCB leapfrogged Mumbai Indians to reach the 2nd position in the points table with 14 points as they smashed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with an 8-wicket win while chasing a meager score of 85.

Batting first ECB managed to restrict KKR to a below-par total of 84 for 8 in 20 overs owing to some brilliant bowling spell from the likes of Mohammad Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Navdeep Saini. Siraj was the star for RCB as he produced figures of 3/8 from his four overs, including two maidens making him the first bowler to do so.

RCB fast bowler, Dale Steyn was seen showering praises on Siraj, saying he was amazing and to perform like this shows Siraj’s character.

In a video uploaded by RCB on their Youtube channel, Steyn was heard saying, “They were amazing. I thought Siraj to comeback from his last game against Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah when he went for a couple of runs and perform like this shows the character that he is and what kind of class player he is. Well done to him and I think everyone struck it together nicely tonight. One of those nights where things go your way.”

During a conversation with Parthiv Patel, Steyn also joked that it’s nice to share knowledge with the youngsters but unfortunately he cannot take the glory for RCB’s crushing win over KKR.
