IPL 2024: 'Everyone's Nerves Got Tested; Ashutosh Was Unbelievable', Says Hardik Pandya
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: In Thursday’s thrilling match of IPL 2024, Punjab Kings batter Ashutosh Sharma nearly pulled off the impossible when he smashed 61 off 28 balls after coming as a number eight batter and threatened to take his team over the line in a chase of 193.
But in the 18th over, he was dismissed by Gerald Coetzee and that was enough for Mumbai Indians to eke out a narrow nine-run win. MI skipper Hardik Pandya admitted that the nerves of everyone in the field were tested and that Ashutosh, playing his first IPL season, was unbelievable.
"(It was) a very good game of cricket. I think everyone's nerves got tested. We did speak, before the game, that our character will be checked in this game and I don't think anything else was there except that.
