While Mi made a remarkable return to Death Overs to end GT’s sleeves at a 196 score, their own striker imploded in the last Overs.
Speaking after the match during the post-match presentation, Hardik said: “Difficult to bring it together, I think that in the striker and the bowling alley, we were 15-20 sleeves in the two places.
