On the second ball of Tyagi’s second over, batsman Oliver Davies let the ball go behind the stumps to the wicketkeeper. He was then seen raising his bat towards Kartik Tyagi and saying something.
In response, Tyagi gave a glaring look to Davies, which in itself looked vicious, but nobody knew that it will turn out to be lethal for the Australian batsman, as Tyagi bowled a fine ball, which Davies ended up edging into the hands of Yashaswi Jaiswal who was in the slip.
The revenge was well taken by Tyagi, who responded to the sledging by Davies in the perfect manner. Moreover, the new Rajasthan Royals players started his spell by taking two wickets in his first over and Davies was his third victim.
