Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Romario Shephered appeared in a rapid-fire round video presented by Cricbuzz. In this video, the Caribbean pace bowling all-rounder had to face multiple tricky questions.
Shepherd counters most of the questions with his pure knowledge of cricket. But there is one specific question for which Romario Shepherd left with no answer.
RCB set to face GT in the play-offs
RCB has raced into the play-offs as the best team in the group stage. Despite going down against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final group phase match, RCB remains at the top of the chart because of their net run rate.
In the play-offs, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is all set to face Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans on May 26 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Ahead of the crucial match, Romario Shepherd faced the rapid-fire round.

Romarion Shephard named Virat Kohli multiple times
According to Romario, Virat Kohli always keeps one step ahead in a run chase. Virat’s RCB teammate called the batting maestro a master in run chase as well. The West Indies all-rounder put Virat above all the stars in the league regarding this. Shepherd claims that even in pressure situations, Virat Kohli knows how to bat very well.
While he praised Virat for batting, he named Tim David, another RCB star, for bowling in the crucial conditions of a match. David is mostly known for his big-hitting skills. For Shepherd, the Aussie all-rounder is effective with the ball in the death overs as well. Praising his muscle power, Romario Shepherd chose to go with David again when he was to name a batter who could get 20 runs in the last over.
Spemhard mentioned Suryakumar Yadav as well
Rajat Patidar, the RCB skipper, is also in the list of Romario Shepherd’s favorites in the Indian Premier League. The all-rounder claims that physically, Rajat Patadir might not have looked like a powerhouse, but his ability to smash the balls for maximums impressed him very much.
Suryakumar Yadav is the only player in the round who is not an RCB player. Shephard said that it is always difficult to set a field against the Mumbai Indians batter.
