IPL 2018, RCB vs CSK: 5 talking points

#3 The horrendous bowling from Royal Challengers Bangalore

Siraj was extremely disappointing with the ball today

Barring the economical spells of Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, RCB’s bowlers were terribly awful. Pawan Negi began well by dismissing Shane Watson but was expensive later on and ended up conceding 36 runs from just three overs.

Washington Sundar gave away 14 runs in his solitary over while Mohammed Siraj’s spell was expensive as well as embarrassing towards the end. Having already conceded 34 runs from three overs, Siraj gave 9 runs in five deliveries before bowling three consecutive wides. He eventually ended his spell at 0/48.

Corey Anderson was the most expensive of them all, conceding 58 runs from 3.4 overs including 17 runs in the final over. Provided the RCB bowlers produce such lackluster performances in their future games, their campaign this year won’t be much different to that of last year.
