"Acha hua iska baap mar gaya" RCB fans begin abusing Mohd Siraj as RR unsettles RCB in powerplay
Fans began abusing Siraj on Instagram even before match yielded any result
Bengaluru: RCB fans who were hoping for a good show of batting and bowling by their team in the second qualifier of the IPL 2022 were left heartbroken after the RR’s opening duo of Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal unsettled the RCB bowlers in the powerplay of second innings while chasing 158.
Both Buttler and Jaiswal began well and started hitting the ball to the boundary from the word go and made over 60 runs in the first six overs of their innings effectively taking the game away from RCB.
Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj who conceded the most runs in the powerplay, was soon abused and blamed by the RCB fans on his social media handles even before the match yielded any results.
Fans abused Siraj by commenting on his Instagram posts using filthy language. Some of the fans even dragged the late father of Siraj into their abuses while others abused his mother and other family members. Some of the users also called on Siraj to retire from the cricket after his poor performances.
Siraj has had a rather forgettable outing this season. On Friday during the second qualifier of the season against RR, Siraj had conceded 31 runs in two overs by the end of eighth over of the second innings.
Earlier, RCB had scored 157-8 in their 20 overs with Rajat Patidar scoring 42-ball 58. The winner of the contest between RCB and RR will face Gujarat Titans in the final of the season on May 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

New Delhi (PTI): Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, saying those indulging in "vote chori" are "gaddars" and need to be removed from power to save the voting right and the Constitution.
Addressing the party's 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, Kharge said it is the duty of all Indians to unitedly strengthen Congress ideology as only this party can save the country.

The Congress president also said that he did not go for his son's operation in Bengaluru and stayed to attend the rally as he thought it was important "to save 140 crore people".
