Siraj once again got into a heated spat with the batter. The umpires and Faf du Plessis try to calm the situation. Phil Salt backs out of the pull on a quick short ball outside off by Siraj and immediately looks at the square leg umpire for a wide. Umpires didn’t find it a wide delivery and then Salt with a big smile on his face says something to Siraj which starts the whole altercation. Warner tries to calm the situation and Siraj puts a finger to his lips making a gesture to silence Salt.
Fine fifties by Virat Kohli (55 off 46) and Mahipal Lomror (54 off 29) propelled Royal Challengers Bangalore to 181/4 against Delhi Capitals in Match No. 50 of IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, here on Saturday.
Apart from Kohli and Lomror, skipper Faf du Plessis also played a vital knock to contribute to RCB’s decent total. On the other hand, Mitchell Marsh was the most successful bowler for Delhi Capitals with his superb 2-21.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave RCB a strong start, scoring 51/0 in the powerplay.
