After failing to contain 17 runs off the final over against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Sandeep Sharma had a poor evening for the Rajasthan Royals.
Sandeep Sharma won’t forget his no-ball against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) anytime soon, according to Laxmipathy Balaji. In the final ball of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Sunday, May 7, the bowler for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) faltered at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Sandeep got Abdul Samad to commit a false stroke, and he hit the ball straight down Jos Buttler’s throat at long off with the Sunrisers needing five runs off the final ball.
The Sunrisers then completed their most successful run-chase in IPL history
As Samad hit Sandeep for a six down the ground.
“If we think back to the final over against CSK, Sandeep managed to win the match in the final three balls. Here, he had a second chance, but the lack of a ball ultimately cost him. Up until the final ball was bowled, he maintained his composure and managed to keep things straightforward.”
“For a brief moment, he believed the game was over, but a demoralizing siren sound interrupted him. The no ball will always make him unhappy. He will undoubtedly be thinking about this one delivery, according to Balaji, who spoke to Star Sports following the game. “
Glenn Phillips, who batted at No. 1, scored 25 runs off seven balls while hitting one four and three sixes, received praise from Balaji as well. For the Orange Army, six. Before being forced out by a brilliant catch from Shimron Hetmyer, Phillips hit Kuldip Yadav for 6, 6, and 4.
“Glenn Phillips seemed like the kind of player who could compete against bowlers, in my opinion. When chasing a high total, SRH probably decided Phillips should be removed in the final three overs. He made a fantastic connection with the ball, and I have no doubt that this gave the Sunrisers reason to be optimistic about their batting order,” the player continued.
Due to victories in five of their last 11 games, the Royals are currently fourth in the standings with 10 points and a net run rate of +0.388.
