Experienced Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj brought Royal Challengers Bengaluru back into the game during their IPL 2024 eliminator encounter against Rajasthan Royals at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Bowling his fourth over, Siraj scalped the crucial wickets of Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer, swinging the game into RCB's favour. 

The Indian seamer had an outstanding start to the over as his incredible delivery uprooted the middle stump of Parag, who was looking sublime in the middle. 

After conceding three runs off his next three balls, the Hyderabad pacer bowled a full length delivery, inviting Hetmyer for a big shot. 

The batter fell in the trap, miscuing the lofted shot high in the air. The ball gobbled up in the air for a long time before Faf du Plessis covered a significant distance to catch it just outside the thirty yard circle. 

Du Plessis, who recorded a failure with the bat earlier in the game, thus showcased his incredible fielding attributes for the umpteenth time in his career. 

However, his valiant effort couldn't save RCB from a heart-breaking defeat, with the Royals chasing the target in 19 overs with four wickets to spare.
