He hit a brilliant fifty in 14 balls against CSK. This player sold cheaply attracted everyone's attention by batting 15 crores. RCB bought Roomario this year for only 1.5 crores.
Romario after the match, “I had a chance today. I had been waiting for a long time, finally came out today to bat, wanted to give a good finish to the team. I was not thinking about the score, I was thinking the ball from the ball and trying to hit a six on every ball. When I went in, Tim asked me to play and try and try and I did not try.”
Romario Shepherd further said, “I try to keep myself 50-50 in bowling and batting, I could not do amazing with the ball today. I kept struggling with the ball. Today was a bad day with the ball but the team performed well and gave us to win.
Shepherd finally scored an unbeaten 54 in 14 balls with four fours and six sixes. He jointly scored the second fastest half -century in the IPL. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal had a fifty in 13 balls.
