The misery of a good opening partnership for Rajasthan Royals continues as English opener, Jos Buttler can’t withhold himself in the crease and fell victim to Mohammad Siraj’s delivery.
Buttler could only add 8 runs into the score of Rajasthan Royals as in the 3rd ball of the 3rd over, Mohammad Siraj’s alluring middle stump delivery, as bowl crashed on the top of the leg stump.
WICKET!
Buttler is beaten and clean bowled by a straight one from Siraj. Great start for #RCB

Kyle Jamieson then on the 5th ball of the 4th over dismissed a struggling Manan Vohra. The Indian Opener was caught of the mid-on by Kane Richardson.

Then in the 5th over, David Miller was dismissed by Siraj at the score of zero, as the grave went in deep for Rajasthan batting line-up. Siraj has dismissed 2 players thus far and Rajasthan Royals are in deep trouble right now.
A brilliant review from #RCB and David Miller departs for a duck.
Wicket No.2 for @mdsirajofficial 🔥

Jos Buttler has scored just 84 runs and Manan Vohra has scored 42 runs for Rajasthan Royals this season as the openers. The cause of trouble for Rajasthan deepens as, since IPL 2020, they lost 38 wickets under 6 overs, the highest amongst all the teams.

The disparage of abysmal opening partnerships has been one of the reasons why Rajasthan keeps performing on low stakes.
