Pune: Chennai Super Kings’ left-arm tempo bowler Mukesh Choudhary has emerged because the unlikely hero for the four-time IPL champions, with the 25-year-old pairing up with the likes of Dwaine Pretorius and Mitchell Santner to torment the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters on the MCA Stadium right here on Sunday.

Choudhary’s wonderful figures of 4-0-46-4 have been the primary cause, moreover the record-breaking partnership between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway, that led the defending champions to their third win in 9 outing in IPL 2022. Choudhary stated post-match that with Dwayne Bravo not within the taking part in XI on Sunday, there was extra accountability on him to take early wickets, and “it got here off”. Choudhary dismissed Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi in the powerplay, denting SRH early in the chase.
“I tried to go for wickets with the new ball and it came off. There was more responsibility in the powerplay especially without Bravo, because he has so much experience and he keeps advising us. He told me (before the match) that I have to take more responsibility. The team environment is always very supportive. At the end, MS Dhoni didn’t tell me anything special about that last over. He just told me to bowl stump to stump, avoid no balls and not try anything fancy,” stated Choudhary.
Dhoni too was all reward for Choudhary, saying that he had graduated from first-class and age-group cricket to the large league.
“It’s good to see Mukesh (Choudhary) doing that for us. He took just a few video games, now he’s bowling nicely. You can get away with loads of issues in first-class cricket and age-group cricket. But over right here you may’t actually get away with too many issues. You should be constant, have to know what you’re doing and settle for the shortcomings. Unless you settle for the shortcoming, the method of changing into robust within the areas you’re weak takes extra time. So acceptance and honesty is the important thing,” said the veteran wicketkeeper-batter.
CSK will next be seen in action against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 4.
