#2 Mohammed Siraj bamboozles SRH batters with a terrific spell

Mohammed Siraj has bowled splendidly against his former IPL teams this season. After a Player of the Match-winning performance against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he continued his imperious run by dominating SRH.

The fast bowler picked up the wickets of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aniket Verma and Simarjeet Singh. He recorded figures of 4-0-17-4, his best-ever in T20 cricket.

Siraj won his second Player of the Match award on the trot for his wonderful bowling exploits. It is worth mentioning that during his spell, the 31-year-old also completed 100 IPL wickets.

#3 Aniket Verma grabs a brilliant diving catch to deny Washington Sundar his maiden IPL half-century

Washington Sundar's knock ended courtesy of Aniket Verma's excellent fielding effort in the deep. However, it would be fair to deem it as a controversial dismissal as it was a touch-and-go grab.

On the first ball of the 14th over, Sundar played a lofted shot against Mohammad Shami's bowling on the offside. Aniket plucked out a superb diving catch and the on-field officials sent the decision upstairs to check if it was a clean take.

From a certain angle, it seemed like the ball had touched the grass before going into Verma's hands. However, the third umpire Nitin Menon adjudged it out, concluding that the fielder's fingers were underneath the ball.

Shubman Gill who was also at the crease at the time, didn't seem to be very pleased with the dismissal and was seen having a word with the umpires.
