5 moments from the RCB vs GL match that don’t fade away

For Thampi, who is playing his first IPL, removing the best in the business was a dream moment

#4 Samuel Badree’s opening spell

Early wickets were just what RCB needed to keep their hopes alive. And Samuel Badree delivered just that. He removed Ishan Kishan (16 from 11) in the second over and Brendon McCullum (3 from 6) in the fourth over to bring some momentum to the home team.

Badree’s skidder may have expected a slog-sweep from Kishan, firing it straight on the stumps. But the delivery was enough to defeat the batsman's instincts and strike him dead in front.

To dismiss the Kiwi batsman, Badree followed McCullum and did not give him room to free his arms. That was some very clever bowling from the Trinidadian. However, Suresh Raina and Aaron Finch were too good for a third wicket partnership and killed RCB’s hopes.
