Why did Punjab Kings fail against batsman Suyash Sharma? Spinner disclosure | Cricket news
New Delhi: Gugli proved to be Suyash Sharma’s deadly weapon as he helped Royal Challengers Bangalore win eight wickets over Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1, which inspires RCB in the IPL 2025 finals at Maharaja Yadvindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. Leg-spinner credited some assistance from the pitch worn for his success.In a notable mantra of 3–17, Suyash abolished the lower order of Punjab by taking wickets of Shashank Singh, Mushir Khan and Marcus Stoinis in quick succession. His efforts ensured that PBKs were excluded for only 101 runs in only 14.1 overs. RCB comfortably chased the target in 10 overs, marking its first IPL final appearance since 2016.“I have performed well, that’s why everyone is happy to me. My coaches gave me just a role to hit the stumps, whether I bowl to leg-brakes, googly, flipper, or any other variation. I just try to finish all my percentage balls at stumpes,” said Suyash.He said, “This (googly) is my stock ball, and I also got a little help from the wicket, so many people were not able to take it. No longer (whether it will celebrate tonight), I will celebrate 3 (June) and very hard during the performance after the match.”
Chasing a minor clan, opener Phil Salat dazzled with his stroke play, a Quickfire 23-Tends fifty-the fastest in the IPL-the fastest-and remained unbeaten on 56 off 27 balls. Considering the match, Salt said that the small change between his previous league match and the qualifier acted in his favor.“Looks great right now, this (ball) moved a little further. I think it was not the worst wicket to play this season. (Responding to what was going on in his mind while chasing) Do not be out of Arshdeep, we played two group games (with PBK) and found him different ways to get me out, so I was just trying to react to the ball. ,He concluded, “I told Andy (Flower) before the game that it was a blessing for us in disguise. (This victory) gives us speed, it’s a clich, but it’s true, that’s you want you in the backnd of the tournament, want to hit your strap and play a part with the bat or ball.”
