Former Cricketer & Chennai Super Kings pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji told in an interview with Star Sports,
“If we recollect the last over against CSK, Sandeep was able to pull back the game in the last three balls. Here he had another opportunity, but unfortunately that no ball cost him. He held his nerve and was able to keep things simple until the last ball was bowled.”
“For a moment he thought the match was over, but the sound of the siren came in a disheartening way. He will be regretting the no-ball forever. This one delivery will definitely be playing in his mind.”
SRH has now increased its prospects for entry into the playoffs but will have to win most of the league matches to enter the playoffs.
