Siraj destroys KKR hopes with 1 run in the 19th over
The RCB bowler choked Russell and went for just 1 run in the over.
Mohammad Siraj bowled the most brilliant of death overs in the IPL history. With 44 runs needed off 12 balls and Andre Russell on strike, fans expected a very close finish to the match.
But it was all before the boy from Hyderabad started showcasing his talent with his bowling. With 4 back to back yorkers he not only choked Russell’s bat swings but also went for no run against him. Russell, who was looking to dig deep and take the match closer for his team wasn’t good enough in digging Siraj’s yorkers to the boundary.
Siraj demolished KKR’s hopes as his over proved to be a decisive one for his team.

Though Siraj couldn’t get a wicket in the match, he was the most economical bowler after Harshal Patel with 17 runs of 3 overs, and the 19th overs bowled by him being more crucial than a wicket.
RCB will surely move ahead with a raised chest in their next upcoming matches with Siraj bowling for them
