While gujarat titans

While Gujarat Titans: While Gujarat Titans’ leg-spinner Rashid Khan conceded 50 plus runs for the fourth time in IPL, left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore varied his pace and used angles well to pick 2-22 and keep Royal Challengers Bengaluru batters little bit quiet in middle overs.

In his superb spell, Kishore surprised everyone by taking a catch off his carrom ball to dismiss Krunal Pandya, a ball which former India head coach Ravi Shastri said on air that it turned and gripped on a pitch which wasn’t a batting paradise at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, as RCB made 169/8.

“To be relevant in T20 cricket, you have to keep evolving. Have been practicing it for the last 3-4 years, have not bowled it anywhere. Was confident to bowl it in the IPL and went with my instinct. It is like a carrom ball, so I get more dip on it. I don't know what it is so I can call it anything,” said Kishore in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.
