Kane Williamson hails Siraj’s bowling display against RCB
Veteran New Zealand star Kane Williamson has lavished huge praise on Mohammed Siraj for carrying out a sensational bowling display against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Wednesday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Siraj broke the back of a high-flying RCB, grabbing three crucial wickets to help his side seal an eight-wicket win. He was also adjudged player of the match for his convincing figures of 3-19.
"Siraj is obviously familiar with the conditions at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. He bowled with real fire in his belly, led the attack with aggression, and bowled with some excellent pace. He was deservedly named Player of the Match. While Jos Buttler was outstanding and back to his best in the second innings, Siraj set the tone early on, making a significant impact for GT," Williamson said on JioHotstar.
Meanwhile, GT’s chase was led by Jos Buttler, who handsomely scored 73 off 39, making up for a dropped catch behind the stumps.
"What I'm really enjoying about Jos at the moment is that, while many big hitters in other teams are looking to hit every ball for six, he remains totally committed to and trusting of his game plan."
"Over the last eight years, he has consistently been one of the top batters and a match-winner in world cricket. We saw that again this evening, and it bodes really well for GT going forward in the tournament," Williamson added.
