NEW DELHI: Applauding the shot after being hit for a six? That too by a fast bowler?
Yes, that’s exactly what happened in the clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday.
It was the last ball of the 15th over bowled by Mohammed Siraj with KKR captain Shreyas Iyer on strike with his team on the course of victory.
Siraj bowled a full delivery at the pads, and Iyer met it with a delightful pick-up shot, whipping it over wide long-on.
As the ball went skimming over the ropes, Siraj just clapped in appreciation of the shot.
A clip of Siraj applauding the shot is viral on the internet:
