RCB trolled brutally after Kyle Jamieson and Glenn Maxwell's poor show

Having been invited to bat first, the hosts scored a gigantic 219/7 riding on the back of a stunning 50-ball 97 by Martin Guptill. In response, Australia could manage to score 215/8, thus falling short by a paltry 4 runs. One of the main reasons behind Australia's defeat was the collapse of their middle-order which also included RCB all-rounder Glenn Maxwell who scored just 3 runs off 5 balls before being dismissed by Mitchell Santner.

On the other hand, the RCB team 2021's most expensive member at the IPL auction, Kyle Jamieson also had a forgettable match as he was taken for cleaners by the Australian batsmen. The lanky all-rounder gave away a whopping 56 runs in his four overs at an abysmal economy rate of 14 and also failed up to pick a single wicket. Notably, the Kyle Jamieson IPL 2021 price is a massive ₹15 crore.
