IPL 2017: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 5 Talking Points

#1 Kedar Jadhav’s run out

Jadhav was run out by some brilliant fielding by Ben Cutting

Buoyed by an explosive start, the Royal Challengers did manage to put up a fair fight, at least in the first half of their innings. Chris Gayle, Mandeep Singh, Travis Head and Kedhar Jadhav, all got off to quick starts and it looked like as long as they kept their scoring rate up without losing too many wickets, they might have pulled off an unlikely victory.

Retribution for last year’s IPL defeat, however, was not to be for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ben Cutting’s brilliant run-out of Kedhar Jadhav signalled the beginning of the end for RCB.

Once Jadhav was dismissed, the rest of the batsmen could not put up much of a fight. The asking rate proved too much even for the experienced Shane Watson.
