IPL 2020: Twitter reacts to Mohammed Siraj’s hostile bowling spell
Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj made history when he bowled a terrific spell of 3-8 for Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) in their match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). No player had ever bowled two maidens in a single IPL match before today’s match but Siraj bowled two maidens in a row and of his first two overs as well.

In his very first over, Siraj dismissed Rahul Tripathi who edged one to the keeper. And in the very next ball, he castled Nitish Rana. The over ended in a maiden and in the following over he dismissed Tom Banton. The KKR batsmen had no clue on how to score against Siraj’s hostile spell. Siraj then bowled a fourth over at the death to finish with figures of 3-8.

Thanks to his spell, KKR finished with a hugely below-par total of 84 which was chased down with ease by the RCB batters.

Twitter filled with praise for Siraj

Twitter was flooded with reactions of praise and humor for Mohammed Siraj’s incredible spell. Here are a few of those:
