We saw David Miller of Delhi Capitals play a brilliant inning against Gujarat Titans in the last match and almost gave victory to his team, but that inning was played by a famous World Cup star. Here, is Mukul Chaudhary, who stepped forward and helped his team cross the finish line. He is a young boy who bats at number five for Rajasthan in domestic T20 cricket. He just comes into the IPL, plays a tremendous innings and everyone talks about him.”

Mukul Choudhary reminded Dhoni

He said, ‘The confidence he showed and the way he played his shots was really amazing to see. At the stage of the innings when he came to bat, he showed calmness, took his time, set up properly and started hitting the balls out of the ground. He also played the helicopter shot, which brought back very old memories for MS Dhoni. He refused to take easy singles because he was confident in his ability to hit big shots and finish the game. He was amazing to watch.”

Lucknow won with the help of youth

Sunil Gavaskar further said, ‘This win against KKR was very important for LSG. They were in trouble, but with the help of their youth they achieved a wonderful victory. Mitchell Marsh did not score many runs, Aiden Markram scored just 22 runs, and Pant and Pooran also did not fare well. Despite struggles from their main batsmen, LSG saved themselves and sealed the win.”
