Those who speculated about another round of tussle between Salt and Siraj were left in for a surprise as the cricketers warmly hugged each other.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is leaving no stone unturned to entertain the spectators in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. They’re right there at the top. Only a week after the infamous incident in Lucknow where there was an altercation between the two Virat Kohli RCB pacer Mohammad Siraj got into a heated exchange with Delhi Capitals (DC) batsman Phil Salt on Saturday night when the two teams faced off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
DC had a blast chasing down 182, with Salt leading the charge. He was looking in great form and went to Siraj in the fifth over. The Englishman hit back-to-back sixes off the first two balls, followed by a four on the third. The right-arm pacer looked troubled by the onslaught and bowled a bouncer in the next delivery but, it was dismissed as a wide.

Siraj then got into an altercation with Salt and was seen pointing his finger at the batsman with a look of frustration on the fast bowler’s face. Warner intervened and tried to settle the matter before the umpire spoke to the players.
But thankfully the matter did not increase so much because it happened in Lucknow. Delhi Capitals registered their biggest win this season by defeating RCB by 7 wickets with 20 balls to spare. Kohli’s homecoming turned bad despite scoring a fifty and Salt became the party popper for the visitors.
