Player of the Match
Mohammed Siraj | Royal Challengers Bangalore
First ball the length was a bit short and then I sensed need to bowl full to get some swing and that was the plan (for the first wicket). The lockdown was really important for me, because I used to get hit for boundaries very often before that.
I worked on my plans, my fitness and my bowling and it’s all paying dividends now. I always try to improve in every department of the game because I understand it is important to contribute in whichever way possible. Always rated myself as a decent fielder, misfields can happen but I take my fielding seriously.
