It happens very rarely in the shortest format of the game that a bowler single-handedly demolished the top three of the opposition’s batting order but Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowler, Marco Jansen did so against RCB. Jansen picked three wickets in a single over against RCB including key wickets of captain Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are on a winning streak and they are up against Royal Challengers Bangalore. SRH won the toss and opted to bowl first. There was some assistance for the pacers in the pitch to swing the ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar displayed it in the first over swinging the ball both ways. Marco Jansen came to bowl the second over and his fantastic rattled the RCB top-order.
Jansen bowled a fullish length ball swinging away to opposition captain Faf Du Plessis and he tried to defend it. However, Du Plessis missed the line completely and the delivery uprooted the off-stump. Virat Kohli was another key wicket on the next ball as he edged to a full-length outswinger outside off in an attempt to drive through mid-on. Anuj Rawat was the third wicket for Jansen as he also edged an outswinger outside off and Aiden Markram caught it in the second slip.
As a result of this brilliant over, RCB were reduced to 8/3 after two over and their top order was sent back to the pavilion.
Here are the videos of the dismissals in the over of Marco Jansen:
Here is the how the fans reacted:
Everyone should leave @imVkohli alone. When it’s tough the tough will get going. It was beautiful captaincy from #kanewilliamson #SRHvsRCB #rcb

Match by match our expectations is high that he will Score but he Doesn't Score. Please RCB give him Some Break 🙏 . Painful to see #ViratKohli like this. pic.twitter.com/NVGh0cj9JS

Without Virat Kohli scoring runs, if RCB win the trophy, will it really be a satisfying victory?#RCBvSRH

I have a feeling it'll be a great day on the field for @imVkohli! He'll silence his critics with a strong game! #IPL2022 #RCBvSRH
