- Lagta hai maidan par vapas aana padega: Yuvraj teased Yuzvendra Chahal
Royal Challengers Bangalore registered an emphatic 82-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders on the back of AB de Villiers’ batting pyrotechnics and the superb bowling efforts of their spinners.
Chris Morris and Washington Sundar bagged 2 wickets each, all-important dismissals in the game, while leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal got rid of KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik and produced exceptionally economical figures of 12/1 in his completed 4-over spell.
Chahal took to social media to post a photograph from a KKR match with a caption: “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it. Great team effort tonight.”
Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who is known for his banters with cricketers on social media, came up with a hilarious reply while lauding Chahal as he tweeted: “Tu kisi ko nahi marne de raha ! Lagta hai maidan par vapas aana padega! Great spell Yuzi top class,” wrote Yuvraj.

Chahal was quick to notice Yuvraj’s banter as he said: “I still remember 3 balls 3 sixes bhaiya.”
Notably, Yuvraj Singh had smashed three successive sixes against Chahal while playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2019.
RCB posted a massive total of 194/2 after an unbeaten 100-run partnership was added by Kohli and de Villiers in just 46 deliveries. In response to the 195 target, KKR crumbled quickly and were packed and sent back leaving the team on 112/9. Even Shubman Gill’s 25-ball 34 was too weak to do any good for KKR with that asking rate.
