IPL 2024: Plan Was To Keep One Over Of Kuldeep For Countering Ferreira And Rovman, Reveals Pant
When Khaleel Ahmed: When Khaleel Ahmed bowled the 15th over in Delhi Capitals’ defence of 221 against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and conceded four consecutive wides, on-air commentators felt the hosts’ had missed a trick by not handing the ball to Kuldeep Yadav, who still had an over left in his allotted quota of overs.
By the time Kuldeep was handed the ball at the start of the 18th over, RR needed 41 off 18 balls, with both Sanju Samson and Shubham Dubey back in the hut. Kuldeep conceded only four runs, including taking out Donovan Ferreira and Ravichandran Ashwin, to turn the game in DC's favour.
After Rasikh Salam conceded only eight runs in a clutch 19th over, including bowling four yorkers, Mukesh Kumar castled Powell in the final over, as DC won by 20 runs and jumped to fifth place in points table, thus keeping their playoffs hopes alive.
