WATCH: Rashid Khan Castles in-form Glenn Maxwell With a Beauty During RCB vs GT Clash

Rashid Khan worked his magic to get past Glenn Maxwell in the Indian Premier League match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans on Sunday. In the most crucial clash for RCB, Maxwell started strongly with an attack off Rashid’s compatriot Noor Ahmed. The Aussies hit Noor for a four and a six but failed to capitalize.

In the 9th over, Rashid bowled a fine delivery to dismiss Maxwell for 11 runs. That was followed by a googly as the crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium broke silence.

After winning the toss, Hardik said that there was no change in his playing XI from their last game where they registered a 34-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad and opted to bowl first due to the weather.

“Just want to know how much we are going to chase. For us to win games and keep the momentum going, I believe in good habits. Just want to go out there and play some good cricket. This is as important as the next match for us.”

Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis said that Himanshu Sharma replaced Karn Sharma in the playing XI, Dinesh Karthik also came in for Shahbaz Ahmed.

“You always want to chase because of the conditions, but the team batting first has done well here. It’s new and the players are motivated by it.”
