capabilities

Krishnappa Gowtham grabbed eyeballs when he was sold to RR for a whopping price and he has proved his price tag with some noteworthy performances against CSK and MI.

He yet again proved his potential as a big hitter with some late strikes with the bat which propelled RR to 164.

Then, he returned to open the bowling and bowled a beautiful first over where he conceded only two runs and in the next over he dealt a body blow to RCBs chances of qualifying to the playoffs with a more offcut that shattered Kohli’s stumps.
