Amit Mishra jubilant after match-winning performance against Rajasthan Royals – Cricket news
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871, the Sunrisers Hyderabad's leg-spinner, is delighted with his performance in the 68th fixture of the sixth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Rajasthan Royals at Hyderabad Deccan.
The 30-year-old cricketer bowled out of his skin against a strong batting line-up and grabbed a couple of wickets after conceding only eight runs in his quota of fours overs, helping his franchise secure a 23-run victory. He was named as the Player of the Match for his superb performance under pressure.
Mishra praised the entire team and thanked the home crowd for showing support to the franchise. The Delhi-born cricketer is extremely happy with his current bowling form and hopes to continue with the good work in future.
“I want to thank the crowd at Hyderabad, getting a lot of support. Not only me, the entire team is doing well, getting confidence by their encouragement, I thank god, for allowing me come back from injury and working hard,” the leg-spinner said.
While addressing the post-match presentation ceremony, Cameron White, who was leading the Sunrisers in last night’s encounter, expressed that his batsmen managed a mediocre total of 136 runs but the bowlers did their job and never allowed the Royals to score freely.
He mentioned, “Never smooth sailing against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 but we fought hard here. We knew we were not too far away from a defendable target, bowled and fielded well here. Credit to the guys for keeping their calm.”
On the other side of the coin, Rahud Dravid, the Royals’ skipper, believes that 136 was quite a competitive total on a pitch where the ball was not coming on the bat. However, the former Indian captain did not hesitate to appreciate Mishra’s performance, who made things extremely tough for the visitors.
“Credit to them for scoring those many, Mishra bowled very too well too and we got bogged down in the middle,” the legendary batsman expressed.
With 18 points after 15 encounters, the Sunrisers have enhanced their chances of qualifying for the play-off stage. The franchise will take on Kolkata Knight Riders tomorrow in their last league match at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792.
