IPL 2018, Eliminator, KKR vs RR: 4 Unnoticed things from the eliminator match between Kolkata Knightriders and Rajasthan Royals

#2 Ish Sodhi’s Economical Spell

Sodhi conceded only 15 runs in his four overs

The New Zealand leg-spinner did not feature in the original scheme of Rajasthan Royals for this IPL season. He was called on later as a replacement for the injured Zahir Khan who was ruled out of the tournament.

The New Zealander was then used by Rajasthan team whenever a track conducive to spin appeared.

In unison with Shreyas Gopal, Ish Sodhi displayed his international experience and kept batting under check.

Tonight, at the Eden Gardens, Ish Sodhi conceded only 15 runs in his four overs and was the most economical bowler for RR with 11 dot balls included.

He bowled 16th over of the match and bowling against rampaging Russell; he gave away only two runs.
