Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricketer Mohammed Siraj produced a fine helicopter shot in front of MS Dhoni during their game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Bangalore franchise eventually lost the game by 23 runs at the DY Patil Sports Academy.
Chasing a mammoth 216 runs, the Royal Challengers lost wickets in the cluster early in the innings. While the runs were coming thick and fast, RCB were reduced to 50/4. Shahbaz Ahmed and debutant Suyash Prabhudessai launched a counterattack but CSK chipped in wickets at regular intervals.
Dinesh Karthik also played a handful knock but it wasn’t enough to seal them a win. Faf du Plessis and Co. needed 35 runs off the final over but with Mohammed Siraj and Josh Hazlewood in the middle, it was already over.
Meanwhile, Siraj produced a fine helicopter shot to finish the proceedings. It was an overpitched delivery from Dwayne Bravo and Siraj audaciously played a helicopter shot to batter it straight of mid-off.

Meanwhile, it was Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa, who powered Chennai to a mammoth total. After a slow start that saw Chennai struggle at 60/2 in 10 overs, Shivam Dube and Robin Uthappa took everyone on a tour to guide CSK to 215 runs. RCB were without Harshal Patel and they were scrambling for bowlers at the end.
It didn’t matter who bowled as Uthappa used his crease to great effect to hit sixes, while Dube hit all slot balls cleanly. They added 156 runs in the last 10 overs, which shifted the game in CSK’s favour.
