RCB vs RR: Mohammed Siraj abuses fellow teammate Mahipal Lomror after missed run out chance against Rajasthan Royals

During the IPL 2023 clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals, Mohammed Siraj was spotted abusing his teammate Mahipal Lomror after missing a runout chance. As the visiting team was getting closer to the target, things were heating up at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and that’s when the incident took place.

Notably, on the final delivery 19th over, Dhruv Jurel tried to steal a second and that’s something Lomror didn’t anticipate from distance. However, seeing that Rajasthan are attempting a double, Lomror rushed and collected the ball but the throw was a bit awkward for Siraj to collect, as he, unfortunately, broke the stumps with his leg.

The ace pacer was disgusted with Lomror’s throw and instantly reacted to it by abusing his own teammate. The youngster however didn’t react much as he went back to his fielding position for the 20th over.

The Royal challengers Bangalore defeated Royal Rajasthan by Seven runs

Batting first, the home team were in full control, courtesy of another batting masterclass of Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. Notably, the opener smashed 62 runs off 39 deliveries while the Australia international hit 77 runs off just 44 deliveries. Based on their brilliant performance with the bat, RCB posted 189 runs on board in the first 20 overs.

With the ball, they started really well, as Mohammed Siraj once again picked up a wicket with the new ball. Jos Buttler was sent back to the pavilion in the first over itself and thus, Rajasthan were under pressure from the very first over of the second innings. However, youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal (47) and Devdutt Padikkal (52) showed a lot of composure to bring the visiting side back to the game.

However, soon after their dismissals, the Sanju Samson-led side lost momentum and was struggling to get going. Meanwhile, in the dying overs of the game, Dhurv Jurel accelerated RR’s chances with his brilliant batting but in the end, they lost the game by seven runs. Meanwhile, RCB with another win in their bag moved up to fifth in IPL Points Table.
