In the 39th match of IPL 2020, Mohammed Siraj bowled brilliantly against Kolkata Knight Riders as he picked wickets of Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana and Tom Banton without conceding a single run to become first bowler to bowl two maidens in an IPL game and restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to 84/8 at Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

No bowler apart from Siraj has attained this feat in IPL before. The RCB speedster also took 3 wickets in his first spell off his first 3 overs to literally destroyed KKR's top-order. Not only this, Siraj pushed the KKR team to the backfoot with 2 wickets in 2 consecutive balls in an over.

After winning the toss against RCB, KKR decided to bat first in Abu Dhabi but it skipper Morgan's decision proved to be wrong. KKR and RCB are standing at the door to reach the playoffs, where RCB need to win 2 matches to cement a spot in the IPL playoffs, while KKR can confirm their place in the playoffs by winning 3 matches.
