RR vs RCB: Watch - Lockie Ferguson castles Tom Kohler-Cadmore with stunning yorker to give RCB huge breakthrough

Lockie Ferguson, on Wednesday (May 22), came up with an absolute gem of a delivery to castle Tom Kohler-Cadmore in the ongoing Eliminator between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Asked to bat first, RCB finished their innings on a competitive total of 172 for 8 in the allotted 20 overs. Rajat Patidar top-scored for RCB, scoring 34 while Virat Kohli (33) and Mahipal Lomror (32) also played crucial knocks. For RR, Avesh Khan picked up three wickets while Ravichandran Ashwin claimed two wickets.

In reply, RR made a good start with the bat. With Jos Buttler not available anymore, Tom Kohler-Cadmore came out to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The duo did not let RCB take any wickets in the first five overs before Lockie Ferguson was introduced into the attack.

And the New Zealand pacer made an instant impact by castling Tom Kohler-Cadmore to give RCB the much-needed first breakthrough. On the third ball of the sixth over, the right-arm pacer clean bowled the RR opener with a stunning yorker. It was a slower yorker from Ferguson and Kohler-Cadmore was completely outfoxed by it. The right-handed batsman departed after scoring 20 runs off 15 balls.
