ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

Superstats - Leggies on a roll, and butter-fingered RCB

Shreyas Gopal, who had already taken six wickets in his two previous games against Royal Challengers Bangalore, again proved to be the matchwinner in Jaipur. He threw a spanner in the works early in RCB's innings by dismissing Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Shimron Hetmyer. Considering the quality of the batsmen dismissed and the stage at which the wickets were taken, ESPNcricinfo's Smart Stats estimates that Gopal's three wickets were actually worth four. Gopal was very economical too conceding only 12 runs off his four overs. He was adjudged the Man-of-the-Match, and rightly so.

According to ESPNcricinfo's Smart Stats, Gopal's impact on the match was the greatest as shown by the contribution he made to the game. At 27%, Gopal's contribution to the match was the highest. While Parthiv Patel had the next-highest impact with a contribution percentage of 22.7, the third spot went to another legspinner in Yuzvendra Chahal with 16.1% contribution. The two legspinners had a collective contribution of 43% in the match - a number that neatly illustrates how the googlies bowled by them spun a web around the batsmen. (The contribution percentages are calculated by combining the batting and bowling efforts of a player in a game, and add up to 100 for all 22 players who played the match.)
