Mukesh Kumar did wonders in the last over
Actually, before the last over, the victory was seen in favor of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Washington Sundar was set at the crease and in his style was taking the ball to the boundary. Hyderabad needed 13 runs to win in the last over and captain Warner showed faith in his young bowler Mukesh Kumar. Earlier, Mukesh had also eaten 15 runs in one over.
Mukesh also did not disappoint his captain. In the last over, Mukesh bowled consistently tight and did not allow Washington Sundar and Marco Jansen to hit a single boundary. Mukesh spent only 5 runs in the last over and sealed Delhi's historic victory.
