When Tyagi stepped up to bowl the final over, not only was he defending only four, he was bowling at a partnership of Aiden Markram & Nicholas Pooran that had added 57 runs off just 39 balls on an excellent batting track.
First Ball – His first ball was actually a low full-toss that Markram mistimed to extra cover.
2nd Ball The South African managed to squeeze a single off the second ball.
Also not to be forgotten, Mustafizur Rahman bowled a very good penultimate over himself, giving away just four as well.
IPL 2021 RR beat PBKS – Sanju Samson Fined:
Kartik Tyagi | Player of the Match: I was injured during the India leg of the IPL and by the time I got fit, the tournament was suspended. Felt sad. So this feels really good. I have been talking to people over the years and they keep telling me that things keep changing in this format, so I need to keep believing. I’ve always heard from everyone and also watched games in this format where strange things have happened. Today, I was fortunate to play a big role in something special. I was bowling a bit too short earlier, later worked on it consciously after getting a lot of feedback.
IPL 2021 RR beat PBKS: Sanju Samson | Rajasthan Royals captain: It’s funny that we kept believing (that we could win). I kept the overs of Mustafizur and Tyagi for the end, believing. Cricket is a funny game right. We just kept fighting and believing. I always believe in my bowlers, want to keep fighting and that’s why I kept those two overs till the end. To be very honest, to get that score on this wicket, we felt good because we had the bowling. If we took the catches, we could have won the game earlier. People have really worked hard on their fitness.
