RCB bowler Rasikh Salam walked off the field due to cramps against Gujarat Titans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.

Rasikh was set to bowl the last over of the first innings but mid way through his run up on the first ball, he slowed down, stopped, and went down, holding his feet.

The 26-year-old faced a similar issue during RCB’s match against Mumbai Indians a week ago, when the bowler had to be treated multiple times by the physios and the match was interrupted on more than one occasion.

While Rasikh managed to carry on against MI, he was unable to continue against GT and after an assessment by the physios, the team management decided to take him off the field.

Krunal Pandya bowled the last over in place of Rasikh as GT ended with 205 on the board. But the drama didn’t end there. Krunal, like Rasikh, suffered cramps after bowling the first delivery but thankfully for the home side, the left arm spinner was able to shrug it off and complete the over.

Rasikh registered figures of 0/28 off his three overs tonight before he was forced to walk off the field.
