“The best way he bowled yorkers and defended 9 runs within the ultimate over within the final recreation, I used to be mentally ready that he would again his yorkers. My plan was to hit on the advantage of the ball, whether or not it’s a yorker or a good-length supply,” he stated.

In the meantime, DC pacer Mukesh Kumar admitted that his group was 10 to fifteen runs brief on a batting-friendly wicket. “It was a batting wicket, so any indiscretion in size was being punished with a 4 or a six,” he stated.
