Mohammed Siraj gave Royal Challengers Bangalore the perfect start while defending their total of 189 runs against Rajasthan Royals. Siraj sent the dangerous Jos Buttler back to the dugout for a duck, which was a crucial wicket for RR as they needed Buttler to score well for the chase. Unfortunately for them, his outing with the bat ended in the first over itself.
Watch:
An extraordinary delivery THAT @mdsirajofficial cleans up Jos Buttler and continues his habit of striking early for @RCBTweets!
