SPORTS Desk. After the thrilling win against Delhi, captain Hardik Pandya praised the fielding of the team. Also, regarding Karun Nair, who is making a comeback after three years, he said that he had come out of the syllabus for him.
Hardik told that the way Karun Nair was batting, the bowlers of the team were helpless in making strategies.
Hardik Pandya said, winning is always special. Especially in matches like this. You have to keep fighting and it means a lot. We did not have options about what kind of bowling to do to him. The way he faced our bowlers, capitalized on his chances and the way he executed it. It shows his hard work. I think he surprised us.
Karna showed courage
Pandya further said, the way Karna bowled, he showed a lot of courage, especially on a small ground like that. I always believe that fielding is something that can completely change the game. We were fully prepared, did not give up and they got chances and scored goals. The more the players in form will try to face the balls and take responsibility. Obviously, the dew played an important role later.
Mumbai won in the end
It should be noted that this match was hanging in the bag of both the teams. The target was above
and Fraser McGurk was out on the first ball. After this, Karun Nair performed something unique, but as they say, if you win then it is good otherwise no one remembers. Perhaps Karun Nair’s innings may not be discussed that much.
A juicy flighted ball from Santner took Karun’s off stump. In the middle overs, Karn Sharma completely tied down Delhi Capitals. He took three wickets including KL Rahul, but Ashutosh was taking the innings till the end and three run outs made a hat-trick of run outs and Mumbai Indians won the match by 12 runs.
