Anil Kumble talked about the exciting May 6 game between the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians. The final over of the match, according to the JioHotstar expert, was the decisive factor for GT. According to him, the bowler’s main goal was to avoid giving up a boundary. The dew factor made it challenging for Deepak Chahar, and Kumble sensed a low bounce.
In the final over, Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee had what the former MI Mentor believed they needed to clear the fence. According to Kumble, it was a magnificent cricket match, with the outcome relying on the final over. Rain interrupted the game several times, but the former RCB captain claimed that GT maintained their composure better.
“The final over completed the transaction. Your first priority as a bowler in that scenario is to avoid giving up a boundary. It got much simpler for GT because of the wetness and low bounce. “It’s difficult to stop when you have two batters who can clear the ropes and a mindset like Coetzee’s — he said after the game,’see ball, hit ball’ —” Kumble stated on JioHotstar.
“MI must win both of their upcoming games, while GT must win just one of their three games,” said Anil Kumble.
“After 38 overs, it all came down to that one over in an incredible cricket match. Interruptions forced both sides to reset several times, but GT ultimately maintained composure,” Kumble continued.
The former Indian bowler believed that MI’s strength would not allow them to qualify with 16 points. According to him, GT just needed to win three of their matches to qualify, whereas the five-time champions needed to win both of their matches to do so.
“A play-off position should be guaranteed with 18 points. To get there, GT only needs to win one of their next three games. Mumbai has to win both of their next games. Things can get complicated around 16 points; you don’t want to depend on the outcomes of other teams. MI won’t want to go to the last minute after losing today after winning six straight. To control their future, they must win both games,” Kumble continued.
