IPL 2024: 'Needed To Dictate The Terms To Batters; It Paid Dividends', Says Tushar Deshpande
In defence of a mammoth 212/3, Deshpande’s triple strikes derailed the SRH chase upfront. He took out Travis Head, Anmolpreet Singh and Abhishek Sharma to ensure SRH never recovered from the decisive blows and be bowled out for 134 in 18.5 overs, resulting in CSK jumping from sixth to third place in the points table.
"We had a specific plan that even if they hit us from a good ball we will try and focus on bowling that good ball again. We won't change according to them. As bowlers in this format, I need to dictate the terms to the batters. I tried to do that and it paid dividends in the match. The only plan was to keep bowling and having patience against a batting line-up like SRH who are very aggressive in the powerplay. So that paid dividends for us. I think bowling that length (full and short) in the powerplay is very crucial."
