IPL 2021 - RCB vs SRH - Review Hindi - SunRisers do a KKR to capitulate to Royal Challengers

If you had missed the Mumbai Indians heist against Kolkata Knight Riders the day before, you were not the only ones as SunRisers Hyderabad too seemed to have missed it. For, they followed the #KKR innings script almost to perfection and conceded an easy match to Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chepauk grounds in Chennai. #SRHvsRCB #RCB huffed and puffed their way to 149 runs off 20 overs, losing eight wickets in the process. However, the big story of their innings was that Glenn Maxwell finally got the #IPL monkey off his back, scoring a half century to guide his team to what appeared a par score, though Virat Kohli said later that they had drawn their lessons from the #MI heist of the previous day. When SRH came to bat, it was Mohammed Siraj who delivered 12 brilliant deliveries that bottled up David Warner and snapped Wriddhiman Saha. Kohli looked to have made a calculated error by bowling Kyle Jamieson up front as he went for 26 runs off two overs when Siraj just conceded 2 runs. Warner appeared to be in the mood and was joined by Manish Pandey and the duo appeared to be chugging along. However, when Warner got out in the 14th over for a 37-ball 54, things just went south as the Hyderabad team lost seven more wickets in the remaining overs, three of which went to Shahbaz Ahmed who ended the match with amazing figures of 3-7 off his two overs. It was an abject batting display from SRH once again which left Warner hot under the ears, though it must be said that it was his dismissal that triggered it. With a few more matches to play in Chennai, the teams might have just got the template for success - go hard during the power play, consolidate during the middle overs and stop aiming high. Most importantly, ensure that a well set batsman is available for the last five overs.
