IPL 2018: MI vs RCB - Three best decisions from the game

#3 Deep square leg trap for ABD

After a disastrous 2016 where he missed a majority of the matches with a back injury, ABD was breathing fire coming into this IPL. He singlehandedly won RCB the match against Punjab; when he is in full flow, there is no player in the world who can match de Villiers.

RCB lost de Kock in the 4th over and ABD came to bat on a pitch tailor-made for big hitting. This was the moment when Rohit Sharma proved why he is the most successful captain in IPL history as he set a short ball trap for ABD.

The South African fell for this well-planned tactic as he failed to notice the deep square leg fielder. He instinctively went for the pull shot and holed out to Pandya. It was the moment that changed this match as RCB failed to score at a higher rate and eventually lost by 46 runs.
