IPL 2024: Sometimes It Works, Sometimes It Doesn't Work, Says R Sai Kishore On Being Held Back Till 19th Over
Sai Kishore: With two left-handed batters in Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel batting in the middle for Delhi Capitals, it resulted in Gujarat Titans’ holding back R Sai Kishore till the 19th over arrived.
The move taken by captain Shubman Gill was due to the match-up of left-arm spinner against left-handed batters, as he persisted with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, who couldn’t provide the much-needed control in middle-overs, thanks to Axar and Pant neutralising their threat.
GT brought in Kishore in the 19th over to counter right-handed Tristan Stubbs, but the batter creamed his drives twice in the gap between extra-cover and long-off, followed by clubbing the spinner for two mammoth sixes over long-on to take 22 runs off the over.
