#1 Liam Livingstone takes Rashid Khan to the cleaners

Liam Livingstone struck five sixes during his 54-run knock. Interestingly, all those five maximums came against the bowling of ace leg spinner Rashid Khan. He dominated the proceedings against the Afghan spin wizard.

Out of the five sixes, three came in a single over as Rashid leaked 20 runs in his final over to finish with dismal figures of 4-0-54-0.

There were some other wonderful hits that delighted the viewers. RCB opener Phil Salt hit Mohammed Siraj for a massive 105m six before losing his wicket on the subsequent delivery.

During the final moments of the game, Jos Buttler pulled a reverse scoop out of his arsenal to send the ball over the fence for a six against Josh Hazlewood.

#2 Mohammed Siraj's magical spell against former team RCB and 'Siuuu' celebration

All eyes were on Mohammed Siraj as he played against his former IPL team. His seven-year stint with Bengaluru ended after he was released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.

The right-arm pacer bowled a fiery spell in the encounter. He claimed the important wickets of Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, and Liam Livingstone. His 'Siuuu' celebration also went viral on social media.

Siraj recorded his best IPL bowling figures at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium and was adjudged the Player of the Match for his splendid bowling exploits.

#3 Sai Kishore outfoxes Krunal Pandya with carrom ball

GT's left-arm spinner Sai Kishore bowled a tidy spell for his team, giving away 22 runs from his four overs and picking up two wickets. He varied his pace brilliantly, restricting the RCB batters from scoring freely.

He showed that he has a few more tricks in his repertoire by using the carrom ball to dismiss Krunal Pandya. In the 15th over of the RCB innings, Kishore used the carrom ball against the southpaw.

Krunal failed to read the variation and got a leading edge while looking to play the ball on the leg side. Kishore completed a simple catch and the all-rounder was out caught and bowled.
