Washington Sundar was impressive as a bowler. The right-arm off-spinner bowled four overs, conceded only 15 runs and claimed two wickets. Ravi Bishnoi was impressive as well, who claimed a wicket in his four overs.
Tilak Varma and Shahbaz Ahmed bowled well too. The two spinners bowled two overs each, conceded only 5 and 13 runs, respectively, and claimed a wicket each. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the left-arm orthodox spinner, R Sai Kishore, who was simply brilliant. Si Kishore bowled four overs, conceded only 12 runs and claimed 3 wickets.
