Mumbai Indians (MI) defended yet another low total at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai as they handed a 13-run loss to David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) who are yet to win a match in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL 2021).
While talking to MI leg-spinner Rahul Chahar who bagged 7 wickets in the last two matches and was the reason for turning both the matches on his team’s side said that he will be sticking to his plans for the upcoming games in Chennai.
“I will stick to the same plan for the coming matches in Chennai and will try to pick as many wickets as possible. Chennai wicket helps spinners. Wickets are not in our hands but I will try to turn the ball from the right spot and put batsmen under pressure,” Chahar said.
The Rajasthan-based cricketer who did not have a great first game in this IPL 2021, came back strongly in the next two games as he not only picked wickets but also turned the games for MI.
“There was some pressure in the second game as the first match was not so good for me. It was important for me to give the best performance in the second match and I don't think there is any better wicket than this for spinners,” he said in a video posted on IPL’s official website.
MI bowling coach Shane Bond had praised the 21-year-old and had said that he is a ‘wicket-taking’ bowler and his role doesn’t change in the team.
After winning against SRH, Rohit Sharma and Co. will be taking on Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals on 20 April in Chennai.
