WATCH: Shreyas Gopal bamboozles Kohli, De Villiers to witness 'best moment' of career

Gopal returned with magnificent figures of 3/12 in his 4-over spell that helped RR securing their maiden victory in the ongoing season of the IPL

Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal jolted the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting line-up on Tuesday night at Jaipur. He returned with magnificent figures of 3/12 in his 4-over spell that helped RR securing their maiden victory in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He began with getting rid of Virat Kohli soon after the powerplay. A couple of overs later, he removed AB de Villiers and then hunted down Shimron Hetmyer to complete his 3-wicket haul.

‘Claiming the coveted first two wickets was the best moment of my cricketing career’, says Gopal. “Getting Virat Kohli and AB Villiers in the same match is a dream for any youngster. It is the best moment of my cricketing career and definitely one of the biggest moments of my IPL cricket,” Gopal said at the post-match conference here. “Any wicket is a big wicket but obviously these two are big names so it feels that much better. But I feel I shouldn't be getting ahead of myself and stay calm,” he added. The 25-year-old said that it was hard to devise a plan against batsmen of Kohli and De Villiers' stature. “Honestly, I feel it is hard to plan a dismissal for batsmen like them (Kohli and De Villiers). You just need to be able to bowl your best ball and try and hit the best area on that particular wicket.  It is all based on the situation,” Gopal said. Following Gopal’s scintillating bowling show, Jos Buttler struck 59 as RR registered their first game of this IPL season with a seven-wicket defeat of RCB.
