Scott Styris Taunts Virat Kohli For Picking Three RCB Bowlers In Playing XI For Indore T20I

Former Chennai Super Kings and New Zealand allrounder Scott Styris last played in the IPL way back in 2011 but it looks like he has still not forgotten the rivalry with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). And his recent tweet regarding India’s team selection for the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Indore pretty much proved that.

Scott Styris questioned Virat Kohli and Indian team-management’s decision of including three RCB bowlers in the playing eleven of the second T20I against Sri Lanka. Navdeep Saini, Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar were the three RCB bowlers in the playing eleven and Scott Styris was not impressed with it.

He took to Twitter to question the decision, saying that it was surprising to see that since RCB were the worst bowling side in the last couple of seasons of IPL. Not only that, Scott Styris also questioned the hosts’ decision of resting star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, saying:

“I’m a little surprised India have gone into this match with THREE @RCBTweets bowling options plus Y Chahal in reserve when theyve been consistently the worst @IPL bowling side over the last couple of seasons ?”

RCB bowlers do well:

Incidentally, Navdeep Saini was one of the best bowlers for India in the second T20I while Washington Sundar also did well. Saini conceded just 18 runs in his four overs and picked up two crucial wickets. On the other hand, Sundar gave India the first breakthrough by dismissing the dangerous Avishka Fernando.

India eventually restricted Sri Lanka to a modest total of 142 for 9 in the stipulated 20 overs. Shardul Thakur was the most successful bowler for the hosts, picking up 3 for 23. For Sri Lanka, Kusal Perera was the top run-scorer with 34.
