During the 51st match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Rashid Khan took two wickets in an over to bring back his team into the game.
Earlier Kane Williamson, captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, had won the toss and chose to field. Sunrisers Hyderabad rested Bhuvneshwar Kumar for this match, replacing him with Thampi. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore fielded an unchanged playing eleven.
Opening the batting with Parthiv Patel (1) and Virat Kohli (12), Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their openers cheaply inside the powerplay. Moeen Ali, who came in to bat at No. 4 in the fifth over, broke the shackles to give his team much-needed momentum. Soon, Ali and AB de Villiers were seen whacking the bowlers to all parts of the ground.
Bowling his last over, Rashid Khan was successful in breaking the 107-run stand between de Villiers and Ali. On the second delivery of the 15th over, de Villiers hit a flat Rashid Khan delivery high in the air which was eventually taken by Shikhar Dhawan by at deep square leg. He scored 69 (39) with the help of 12 fours and a six. Watch the video:
