Amidst all the carnage the RCB batsmen were inflicting on SRH, Rashid Khan remained unscathed, conceding just 27 runs in his 4 overs while also picking up the three key wickets of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Moeen Ali.

The Afghanistan international also produced a moment of brilliance on the field as he pulled off a brilliant one-handed catch at the mid-wicket boundary to help dismiss Colin de Grandhomme who was shocked to see his shot that looked like clearing the ropes to end up in Rashid's hands.

The 19-year-old was fielding a few yards inside the boundary and had also misjudged the flight of the ball just as he did a few moments prior to the stunner when he had allowed the ball to slip past his grasp for a sixer but this time around, Rashid made amends by holding on to the ball that had raced upon him like a tracer bullet.
