IPL 2018, CSK vs RR: Hits and Misses

Modified Apr 21, 2018 00:04 IST

#3 Hit: Shreyas Gopal

Shreyas Gopal has been very good for Rajasthan Royals. They don’t have any established or well-known spinner but Gopal has stepped up very well. Even though he hasn’t taken a lot of wickets, he has kept things pretty tight.

In this game, Gopal came in to bowl in the 8th over after CSK had gotten off to a flier. He came in and showed great control as he gave just four runs in his first over. Suresh Raina then struck a couple of boundaries in his second over but the Karnataka leggie came back very well to dismiss CSK’s No. 3.

He then picked up big wickets of MS Dhoni and Sam Billings in his following overs as he ended his four overs with figures of 3/20. To go for just 5 runs an over in an innings where the opposition scored more than 200 is a fantastic achievement.
