Which current Royal Challengers Bangalore player is the first player to take two consecutive 5 wickets in T20s? Ahead of their first home match of the IPL season, this interesting question on RCB Bold Diaries has left the entire team in a bind, except the one who did it. When asked the question, Virat Kohli said: “Is it Locke?” while both Rocky Ferguson and Glenn Maxwell chose Karn Sharma’s name. Mohammed Siraj wonders if this is Wanindu Hasaranga, while Akash Deep thinks it could be Harshal Patel Harshal Patel). Mahipal Lomror chose Siraj as his guess while Rajat Patidar provided Adam Zampa as his answer. While a few others opted for Anil Kumble and Yuzvendra Chahal, Dinesh Karthik mulled over Himanshu Sharma’s name.

The question was also asked of captain Faf du Plessis, who first asked: “Domestic or international?” before pondering the correct answer. “I was thinking of Fav du Plessis,” Du Plessis said. “Is that right?”

This is indeed the correct answer as Du Plessis had already achieved this feat back in 2011 and 2012 when he took 5/19 and 5/28 on the South African domestic circuit with his leg-spin skills .

In fact, Du Plessis’ second five-wicket haul featured players representing South Africa – Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Dwayne Pretorius, Chris ·Morris and Tammy Solekil. With the exception of De Kock, who was caught, everyone else was struck by du Plessis.

When told that it was the skipper who had accomplished the feat, Kohli exclaimed, “Who bowled leg-spin? Faf? What!” Karthik was also surprised. “Fife, I didn’t expect you to do this!” Karthik said.

The RCB captain even picked up 2 ODI wickets and has a pretty impressive bowling record in first-class, A-category and T20 cricket. He took 50 wickets in T20s at an average of 18.34 and a solid economy rate of 6.96.

“I can’t believe he’s not bowling now and leaving the rest of us to try and bowl,” Maxwell said.

It’s now up to the captain to decide as RCB prepares to face Punjab in their first home match of the season at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday.
