Venkatesh Iyer was replaced in the playing XI during the second innings of this game by Suyash Sharma when KKR captain Nitish Rana made the decision to make an impact player substitution.
Suyash, who was not even born when India faced Australia in the 2003 World Cup final, ended up creating a web around the formidable Bangalore team in game nine of the cash-rich league.
Suyash, who was making his debut, demolished RCB while teaming up with Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine, two mysterious spinners. While chasing a whopping 205, Du Plessis’ squad crumbled for a dismal score of 123 in just 17.4 overs.
Suyash finished off an incredible start for the Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens by taking the crucial wickets of Dinesh Karthik (9), Anuj Rawat (1), and Karn Sharma (1) in the lopsided game.
In his four allotted overs, the youthful KKR player claimed three wickets for 30 runs.
