He bowled tight lines, especially in the middle overs against in-form batters like Virat Kohli and Tim David, forcing multiple defensive shots and dot deliveries.
How Noor Contained the Carnage
With RCB cruising in the first 10 overs, Noor was brought in to slow the pace—and he delivered. Using variation in flight and pace, he denied momentum and applied crucial brakes on RCB’s scoring rate.
In a match that saw over 420 runs scored, Noor’s dot-ball count was the difference between a 230+ total and what RCB ended up with.
Building for the Future
Though CSK fell just short in the chase, Noor’s calm under pressure and economical spell once again proved his value as a franchise asset in the middle overs. This award adds to his growing list of IPL accolades in 2025.
