Du Plessis compared Mohit to Entini
Delhi vice-captains were watching this exciting match with Faf du Plessis Dugout. He compared Mohit’s single to former South African fast bowler Makhaya Antini, who took a significant single to Mark Boucher to strike a historic 438 -run chase against Australia in 2006.
Du Plessis said, “This match was reminding me of that 438 -run match, when Entini took a single at the last moment. This single of Mohit was equally special. It was the most important defense of his career.”
Pant reacted to missing stumping
Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant said after the match that it was unfortunate for him that he missed the opportunity for stumping. He said, “Luck is also important in cricket. If the ball does not feel from his pad, then we had a chance to stump. But this happens in cricket, we should focus on better sports.”
Mohit Sharma’s day was not good in bowling. He conceded 42 runs in his 4 overs and ate two consecutive sixes off the last two balls of the innings. But finally one of his single played an important role in giving Delhi a historic victory.
