Two days, two dramatic turnarounds. Yesterday, Mumbai clinched an unlikeliest of victory from a compromising situation against KKR and now tonight, RCB pull off a miraculous win out of nowhere. Both KKR and SRH had the game in their hands, but thunderstruck, and they lost it from a comfortable position.
Not going to lie, they had us in the first half. 😉
But we know a thing or two about a comeback and a half. 👊🏻

The trio of Harshal Patel, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Mohammed Siraj, made SRH suffer. The trio cumulatively bowled 10 overs, in which they gave 57 runs but most importantly, took 7 wickets and hammered the middle and lower-middle order of SRH big time.
