IPL 2024: GT Adapted To Conditions Very Well, Says Balaji On Their Death-over Bowling Masterclass V MI
Star Sports Press Room: With Mumbai Indians needing 42 off the last six overs with seven wickets in hand, Gujarat Titans put up a death-overs bowling masterclass to register a six-run win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday evening, and former India fast-bowler Lakshmipathy Balaji lauded the side’s bowlers for adapting well to the conditions which weren’t in their favour.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium, there was heavy dew when GT came out to defend 168 against MI, which meant the bowlers faced challenges in gripping the ball. But with R. Sai Kishore trapping Rohit Sharma lbw, Rashid Khan conceding only three runs in the 17th over and Mohit Sharma taking out Dewald Brevis and Tim David put the pressure back on Mumbai Indians.
With 36 runs needed from the last three overs, Spencer Johnson took out Tilak Varma and Gerald Coetzee, before Hardik Pandya fell in the final over to Umesh Yadav as GT got their IPL 2024 campaign off to a winning start.
