IPL 2021: PBKS vs RR- Best spell ever I’ve ever seen, Riyan Parag on Kartik Tyagi’s remaining over heroics

Following the heroics of Kartik Tyagi serving to Rajasthan Royals stun Punjab Kings by 2 runs in a thriller in match 32 of IPL 2021 in Dubai on Tuesday evening, batsman Riyan Parag heaped praises on teammate Kartik for producing the perfect spell ever.

Parag mentioned it was unimaginable to defend eight runs within the remaining two overs particularly after the way in which PBKS batsmen took the sport away from them within the chase with some heavy hitting earlier.

“The mood is really nice, cricket is a really funny game. We were in the driving seat after the first innings but we were poor in the field, the game was slipping away,”Parag mentioned on the post-match press convention. “In the nineteenth over, I used to be at mid-off, I instructed Mustafizur Rahman that don’t let it end on this over and we are able to have an opportunity within the remaining two overs. Defending eight runs of final two overs was unimaginable. This is the primary spell I’ve seen in all my profession, however I hope Kartik does it for us in the remainder of the matches as nicely. 

Despite the victory, RR notably did not had the perfect of day on the bottom with loads of drop catches earlier than a batting-order collapse regardless of a robust begin. Parag admitted that they had a foul day on the sphere however mentioned they’re simply people.

“We had a bad day in the field, I rate myself as one of the best fielders, but in the end, I am human and I can drop a catch too,” he mentioned.

Parag might rating simply 5 runs on the day throughout RR’s horrible collapse as he fell prey to Mohammed Shami whereas trying a helicopter shot. Parag mentioned the thought was proper however the execution wasn’t.

“Bowlers have perfected the yorker, so the helicopter shot is a way of adding another thing in my armoury. It did not pay off well today but then I am confident, in the next match, if I get the same ball, I’ll try the same thing,” mentioned Parag.
