WATCH: Wanindu Hasaranga's Match Winning 5-Wicket Haul Against SRH

SRH vs RCB IPL 2022: After the tournament started, many experts believed that Royal Challengers Bangalore were not wise in their retentions, releasing Yuzvendra Chahal. The spinner is the Purple Cap holder at the moment. However, RCB's replacement for Chahal, Wanindu Hasaranga, showed up against Sunrisers Hyderabad as he took his team to a massive 67-run win. 

Chasing a target of 193, SRH lost their first two wickets in the first over itself. SRH managed to play out the next 7-8 overs without suffering a wicket. In the 9th over, Wanindu Hasaranga got rid off Aiden Markram after the African batter had scored 21 runs in 27 balls with a four & a six. 

The Sri Lankan spinner then went on to dismiss SRH's explosive finisher this season, Nicholas Pooran for 19 runs in the 13th over. Jagadeesha Suchith was dismissed by Wanindu in the 15th over as he tried to take on the bowler. 

In the 17th over and Wanindu's last, the bowler dismissed explosive batter Shashank Singh and Umran Malik in consecutive balls to complete his first-ever 5-wicket haul in the IPL. 

While talking about the match, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis won the toss & opted to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 54th match of IPL 2022.
