Umesh Yadav, an extremely experienced Indian pacer, entered the game with MI needing 19 runs to win against Gujarat Titans when they were down 169. Hardik Pandya hammered the opening two deliveries for a six and a boundary with 19 runs to defend. But Umesh bounced back quickly, taking two wickets in the next two balls, which was vital for his team.

Actually, I was standing silently when Ashu pa said ‘You bowl the last over’
Even though he gave up 10 runs in 2 balls, the experienced fast bowler said he had a lot of support from Gill and the team management and he proved it.
