I can throw the ball to Bumrah or Santner whenever I want: Hardik Pandya
Talking about the match, MI posted a total 180 for the loss of five wickets with Suryakumar Yadav top scoring with 73*(43) runs. In reply, DC were bowled out for just 121 runs in 18.2 overs. Fast bowling duo off Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell Santner ended up taking three wickets each. After the match, MI skipper Hardik Pandya heaped praise on Bumrah and Santner and said they both have played a crucial role in MI’s journey this season.
“I can throw the ball to them (Santner and Bumrah) whenever I want, they bring such control and perfection which makes my job very easy. We would've been very happy to get 160 but the way Naman and Surya finished it. Especially Naman, to come out and just hit on a difficult track was outstanding,” Pandya said at the post-match presentation.
