The scientist came, and conquered tonight. Ravichandran Ashwin got the better of Cameron Green, who looked in sublime form tonight with his 27 (21). And with this wicket, Royal Challengers Bengaluru had to face another heartbreak, this time too it was at the hands of RR's Rovman Powell who made a good catch.
Watch the video here:
In the 12th over, Ashwin got the better of Green when he bowled a fuller delivery pitching towards the off stump. Green backed away in an attempt to make some room for himself and lofted it in off-side without timing it. The ball flies high in the air in the extra cover region. Powell backpedaled towards the outside of the circle and falls on his back while completing the catch.
What followed this was another example of Ashwin's masterclass, as on the very next ball he sent Glenn Maxwell back for a golden duck. This jolted the spirits of RCB as they were left bewildered and searching for answers.
At the time of writing, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror are helping RCB stage a good total. They are at 134/5.
