‘Such
matches are not always seen’
Mumbai
Indians cricketers rejoice after a great victory.
The match is over, but Resh remains. The opposite feeling of
thrill-excitement-joy-frustration is going on in both the teams. After a
remarkable win, Mumbai Indians are naturally floating in excitement. The
Kolkata Knight Riders were shocked by the victory.One of the great advertisements
of cricket uncertainty was the match between Kolkata and Mumbai in the IPL on
Tuesday. Chasing 153 in Chennai, Kolkata scored 72 in the opening over. They
then lost three wickets in a short span of time. Even after that the victory
was within reach. At one stage 31 runs were needed from 31 balls with 6
wickets.Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar's ball came out and Nitish Rana, who scored 56
runs, was stumped. In the next over, Shakib Al Hasan returned the wicket to
slog Krunal Pandya.After that, Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik were the two
most effective batsmen in the T20s, but both of them kept on trying to get
timing on slow wickets. The pace of the run stops. 15 runs are needed in the
last over.Even there, Kolkata could not cope with the great bowling of Trent
Bolt. Russell was out for 9 off 15 balls. Pat Cummins bold first. Karthik
remained unbeaten on 8 off 11 balls. Mumbai won by 10 runs.At the end of the
match, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma praised the team's mentality. "Everybody
on the team has done a great job. Such matches are not always seen. It was a
full-fledged team effort. All bowlers deserve credit. ”"Batsmen who are
settled on such wickets have to return after finishing their work. The type of
wicket in Chennai is such that shots cannot be played without going. The plan
is to play. We will carry a lot of confidence from today's match. ”The same
thing was heard in the voice of Andre Russell about the behavior of the wicket.
In the first innings of the match too, the Mumbai batsmen lost one wicket after
another in an attempt to score a quick run towards the end. Russell got 5
wickets in just 2 overs with the ball in hand. Later they themselves walk the
same path.Russell said at the end of the match that they lost because they
failed to meet the demands of the wicket and the situation."Cricket is
like that. I have played hundreds of T20s. I have seen in many matches that a
team is on the way to victory effortlessly, then after losing a couple of
wickets in a hurry, the look of the game is changing, new batsmen are coming.
This has happened even today. ”"This wicket is very difficult for batting.
Shot play is not easy for a new batsman. Even today was difficult for me. The
ball was rising and falling. No matter how good a batsman is, it takes a while
to adjust. Unfortunately DK (Karthik) and a good finisher like me could not get
it today. Of course we will learn from this. ”
