Siraj bowled the most terrific and thrill-seeking over of the Indian Premier League until now. Delhi Capitals was chasing Royal Challengers Bangalore when the match came down to the outcome of the last over.
As Siraj bowled a brilliant yorker for the first ball. Pant hits a single on the first ball. Hetmyer could only squeeze the next ball away for a single. DC requires not 12 off 4 balls. Siraj next bowls a dot. 12 off 3 required to win. Pant manages a double. Delhi Capitals need 10 off 2 now with Pant on strike. He gets away for four. As DC needs a six in the next ball Pant could manage only a four and RCB beat DC by four runs.
The teeth grinding over by Siraj on the ball and Pant and Hetmyer on the strike surely got everyone grappling with excitement.
