IPL 2019 RCB vs DC Turning Point: Kagiso Rabada picks three in an over
IPL 2019: The South African repaid the faith of his captain by sending back Virat Kohli off the first ball of the over. Rabada sent back the dangerous Akshdeep Nath off his third delivery and then accounted for Pawan Negi on the last ball of the over.
Royal Challengers Bangalore were desperately looking for their first win of the season at home against Delhi Capitals but it wasn’t to be yet again. It didn’t start well for the hosts as captain Virat Kohli lost the toss and Delhi chose to field first.
Kohli was once again the lone warrior as wickets kept falling around him on a pitch that wasn’t the easiest to bat on. The captain was looking to explode towards the end after creating a good platform for the team and showed his intent with a couple of big hits in the 17th over. With three overs to go, Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer brought Kagiso Rabada back in the attack.
