I’ve been gifted to time the bowl well: Abhinav Manohar
While chasing a mammoth total of 208 runs, MI was able to score only 152 runs with the loss of nine wickets. The highest scorer for the visitors was Nehal Wadhera who scored runs off just 21 balls which included three fours and three sixes in the innings. Star Australia all-rounder, Cameron Green also scored crucial 33 runs off 26 balls which included three sixes but that was not enough.
“Lucky to be in this franchise. We get to bat for as long as we want in the net sessions here. I practice a lot and have a lot of self-belief because of it. That’s paying off. I’ve been gifted to time the bowl well, to do it at this level feels like a dream. This game I couldn’t start going from ball one because of the situation, but it was good to get my eye in and play my game,” Manohar was quoted as saying in the post-match presentation.
