What was Brendon McCullum writing?
Scenes of outright carnage were witnessed at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on Wednesday night when Kolkata Knight Riders met Royal Challengers Bangalore at IPL 2020.
KKR’s decision to hit first after winning the toss turned out to be disastrous as RCB captain Virat Kohli delivered the ball to pacemaker Mohammed Siraj early on, a decision that developed a chain of events that would go into the books of IPL.
Throwing the second over of the match, Siraj produced an exceptional spell, ripping off two wickets without conceding a single run. His first victim was Rahul Tripathi, who outpointed goalie AB de Villiers one, while the second wicket came on the next ball in the form of Nitish Rana, who dived clean for a duck. The pacemaker followed him with another maiden, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to do so.
As KKR was in tatters, franchise head coach Brendon McCullum was seen taking notes on the bench, perhaps jotting down mistakes that camp could avoid in the next game.
The funny people on Twitter let their imaginations run wild when McCullum wrote in his notebook during the one-sided affair that it turned into a funny meme.
Siraj ended up with bowling figures saying 4-2-8-3 for which he was awarded Man of the Match. In the end, KKR could only manage 84/8 on the scoreboard in his 20 overs, with captain Eoin Morgan leading scorer with 30 runs. RCB in his response won the match comfortably by 8 wickets with 39 deliveries to spare, bringing his tally to 14 points and the # 2 spot on the points table.
