Just when things couldn’t get worse for Royal Challengers Bangalore with KL Rahul coming out in top form, Umesh Yadav bowled a howler that flew down the leg side slipping off his hands.
Josh Philippe put in a full-stretched dive but the ball was already en route to its destination with the roll of the cherry finally being cut short before the fine leg boundary. Yadav has pulled off such antiques previously as well when he bowled one headed to the mars only to land short of Kane Williamson.
Twitter couldn’t hold on to their horns and deluged the site with tweets of immense laughter. Here are the top ten tweets.
Cricbuzz tweeted, “Yadav produced an unplayable delivery to KL Rahul, the ball didn’t land on the pitch at all and went down to fine leg #KXIPvRCB #IPL2020”

The next tweet read, “His problem is he is too inconsistent & generally, gives one lose ball every over hit for a boundary & pressure eases on opposition. I think he has developed himself as test match bowler being too experimental & should be played in longer version of game. “Umesh Yadav”
