IPL 2024: Watson Reckons He 'would Have Thrown The Ball To Boult' In Final Over Against GT
Captain Shubman Gill: Shane Watson, the former Australia fast-bowling all-rounder, reckons if he was in the Rajasthan Royals camp, he would have given the final over to left-arm pacer Trent Boult.
RR made an imposing 196/3, thanks to fifties from Riyan Parag and captain Sanju Samson. In the defence, after Kuldeep Sen gave away 20 runs in the 19th over, RR had to defend 15 runs off the final over.
Boult had taken 2/8 in his two power-play overs and doesn’t have a great record of bowling in death overs. It’s why RR chose to bowl the final over with their designated death overs bowler Avesh Khan. But GT eventually chased down the total on the last ball to win by three wickets, giving RR their first defeat of the competition.
