IPL 2022, SRH vs RCB Highlights: Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga bowled brilliantly as he claimed five wickets against SRH to derail their run-chase and guide the team to a 67-run win. Despite losing early wickets, batter Rahul Tripathi hit a sublime fifty and kept SRH in the hunt for the 193-run target but SRH never really recovered from the two early blows in the first over the run-chase itself. They lost skipper Kane Williamson to a run-out and then Abhishek Sharma was removed by Glenn Maxwell. However, Aiden Markram and Rahul Tripathi brought some stability with a crucial partnership before the former departed for 21 runs. Pooran also departed soon by Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga bags a fifer as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 67 runs. Rahul Tripathi (58) scored a feisty half-century for the SRH.

"I'm a wicket-taking bowler and the team also thinks like that. I try to bowl a lot of dot balls and try to get wickets. That's my role in the team," Hasaranga said at the post-match media interaction after RCB's 67-run win over SRH.
With his fifer, Hasaranga (21 wickets) became the second player in this IPL to get past 20-wicket mark and he is currently at second spot behind Yuzvendra Chahal (22).
After dismissing Aiden Markram, Hasaranga returned to have the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Jagadeesha Suchith in successive overs. He then finished off his spell with a double-wicket maiden.
"I'm really happy with my position right now. I try to take wickets in middle overs, and put pressure on the opposition."This year, four players from Sri Lanka are doing really well, especially Maheesh Theekshana (Chennai), Dushmantha Chameera (Lucknow) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (Punjab). For us our three main bowlers playing in this IPL, that's good experience for us when we go back to Sri Lanka," he said.
