Rahul Chahar won the man of the match award after his splendid performance against KKR.
His performance was vital for the team’s comeback against KKR.
He was responsible for taking the wickets of set batsmen Nitish Rana who would have finished the game very early, but after his dismissal, the KKR batting line was in effective.
Chahar had a figure of 4 wickets from 4 overs while giving away 27 runs that earned him the man of the match award.
‘There was pressure when they started well and a spinner had to pull it back. I enjoyed Tripathi’s wicket. I was confident in my abilities as I have been playing the IPL for 2-3 years. I know Gill well, and I also know he can’t keep hitting me out of the park on a regular basis. I can spin at 90 kph and that’s my strength. I had an idea about Nitish walking down the track, so I bowled a flipper outside off on the last ball of my spell. My confidence is sometimes down, but Rohit shows confidence in me to lift me up. Mumbai Indians takes care of its players during the off season as well, and that’s why it is such a special franchise.’ Rahul said in the post match presentation.
