RCB's skipper, Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bat first but after the 1st delivery, therewas a long hault in the game as Mohammed Shami stopped twice during his run-up. He was not able to run with full rythm and that was when he decided to ask for measuring tape and again mark his run-up.
The process was certainly going to take some time out of the game and the umpire wasn’t happy with the bowler for the same reason. But Shami also explained him his situation and marked his run-up again. It took some time for him and the first over of the game itself was stretched.
Well, after this hault, the match resumed and Virat Kohli made his 1st fifty of this year's IPL and his fans were overjoyed with his performance.
