“We weren’t sure who was going to bowl and then Hopesy came up to me and said I was going to bowl that over. Obviously lots of nerves. I just saw it as a simulation and glad it paid off. You have to keep your wits about you and be really clear on what you have to bowl. I just went with yorkers and it worked in the end. I was clear and backed my plan,” the South Africa fast bowler said after the match.
The match had ended in a tie after Delhi, chasing 186 for victory, finished their 20 overs on 185 for six, with Prithvi Shaw hitting 99 at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla stadium. Earlier, Russell smashed 62 off 28 balls and shared a crucial 95–run stand with his skipper Dinesh Karthik (50 off 36 balls) for the sixth wicket.
