Gujarat Titans defeated Punjab Kings by four wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 3. Punjab posted a decent total of 163/9 after electing to bat first. They recovered from an early collapse that left them at 47/5. The Shubman Gill-led side chased the 164-run target with two balls to spare.
"I think Shreyas Iyer's calculations were a bit wrong, because he had to give the last over to Stoinis. If that last over was bowled by Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, or Marco Jansen, then maybe PBKS could have won this match, because there were 11 runs to defend," Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
During the final over of the chase, Iyer gave the ball to Marcus Stoinis with 11 runs to defend. He had introduced Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, but the spinner bowled only one over before being taken off.
It Is Not Entirely Right To Blame Shreyas Iyer - Manoj Tiwary
"There has been a mistake. According to me, it is not entirely right to blame Shreyas Iyer for that because when Chahal was brought on, he gave away 13 runs. But, he had the call to make to bring him on against two left-handers, because he could have conceded more runs or even not, he had to make that call."
Yuzvendra Chahal Is At The Top Of The List - Manoj Tiwary
Manoj Tiwary also criticized the modern trend where captains avoid using their main spinners due to match-ups. He argued that ignoring Yuzvendra Chahal’s proven wicket-taking ability just because left-handers were batting reduced Shreyas Iyer’s options in the death overs.
Chahal conceded 13 runs without taking a wicket in his only over against the left-handed pair of Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar. This was the fourth time in eight innings this season that he did not complete his full four-over quota.
