Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fast bowler, Mohammed Siraj has become a regular in the Indian cricket team but not for his batting skills. However, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), needing 28 to win off the last ball, Siraj managed to hit the delivery for a boundary with a helicopter shot to leave one and all amazed.
Mohammed Siraj hit a six on the final ball of the RCB innings against CSK in match number 22 of the IPL 2022. Although RCB lost the match, still Siraj got in the limelight as he hit a helicopter shot on the final ball of the match to end the game and eventually they lost the game by 23 runs.
After the match, CSK skipper, Ravindra Jadeja also praised CSK batters Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube for their brilliant match-winning knocks of 88 and 95 runs respectively. Batting first, CSK scored 216 for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took a couple of wickets for RCB.
