Navdeep Saini: In a game that looked like peeling away from Royal Challengers Bangalore after Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey stitched a brilliant partnership of 71 runs, the RCB bowlers produced a terrible performance collectively with Chahal being the beacon. In what seemed like an avalanche of wickets, they lost their last eight wickets for just 32 runs, a stat that exposed the skeleton of Hyderabad’s batting once the brass is removed.
Alongside Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini and Shivam Dube penned some stellar performances to lead the RCB resurgence that saw them winning their opening game. Navdeep Saini pulled off a very special performance as he capped off his bowling with figures of 4-0-25-2. His first scalp of the night was Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he was beaten by sheer pace with delivery on the off-stump. He emulated his previous wicket-ball as it claimed a stunned Rashid in the exact same way as that of Bhuvneshwar.
Twitter went berserk as Navdeep finished his blistering spell and here are the top ten tweets that heaped praises on the young fast bowler.
The first tweet read, “Navdeep Saini is a serious talent. He can bowl very fast and has all the deliveries in his arsenal.”

The second tweet lionized his incredible over and went like, “What an over that was by Navdeep Saini after giving 5-wide runs on the second ball. He is one of the best fast bowlers in India at the moment.”
