The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians will face each other in the 5th match of IPL 2023.
Mohammed Siraj and Dinesh Karthik have made headlines throughout the ongoing match between the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. While attempting to take Rohit Sharma’s catch. The two top Indian cricketers collided in an ugly manner.
The incident occurred when the captain of the Mumbai Indians top-edged a bouncer in the fifth over of the innings and Siraj’s third. Both the speedster and Karthik ran for the catch as Karthik called for it, and both of them succeeded in making the catch, resulting in the ball landing on the ground. The fast bowler appeared to have a serious injury, but he quickly got back to work.
Fortunately, Rohit was dismissed in the very next over when right-arm seamer Akash Deep nipped him as the right-hander edged a ball to Karthik behind the stumps.
In his ten balls at the crease, Rohit only got one run. That puts the five-time champions under a ton of pressure. Despite this, Ishan Kishan received an outside edge to the third man, and Mohammed Siraj, the top-ranked Indian ODI bowler. He was the first RCB bowler to dismiss him for ten runs in the third over.
Here is how both the players got collied:
Reece Topley, an English left-arm seamer, removed Cameron Green as the next casualty. Three overs later, Siraj had 3-0-5-1 in his stats.
After losing by seven wickets to the Rajasthan Royals, the Bangalore-based team, which finished third last season, was eliminated. Will Jacks and Reece Topley, two English players who sold for more than three crores. They were some of their most important acquisitions during the mini-auction.
Will Jacks was injured, so RCB enlisted Michael Bracewell to fill in. Topley, however, also hurt his shoulder while attempting to stop the ball from entering the boundary. His figures thus far read 2-0-14-1, and it is unlikely that he will bowl any more in the contest.
