In his final matchup with Rahul Tewatia, Ishant Sharma said, “I knew I had to double bluff him.”

On Tuesday, May 2, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the 44th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 saw an exciting match between the reigning champion Gujarat Titans and the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals.

Delhi needed to bowl brilliantly after scoring only 130 runs, and they more than delivered. The performance of seasoned Indian pacer Ishant Sharma was one of the key determining factors in Delhi’s triumph. Ishant completed four overs of the game, giving up 23 runs, while also claiming two wickets.

The 34-year-old’s exploits in the game’s last over, which included a fantastic spell, rapidly gained notoriety. Gujarat needed 12 runs in the final over to win the match, and the defending champions appeared to be in good shape to do it thanks to Rahul Tewatia.

Ishant, though, only conceded six runs in the final over to give Delhi the victory. He used variations in his bowling to keep the hitters off balance and even got Tewatia in the final over. The seasoned bowler came up following the match to discuss the last over.

I was only having fun with him since Tewatia and I had played enough cricket. We know what he can do with the bat, so I knew I had to double-bluff him,” Ishant Sharma was reported as saying by India Today.

The key is to always carry it out, according to Ishant Sharma.
One of the top players for the Delhi Capitals in the present IPL 2023 has been Ishant Sharma. The 34-year-old has taken six wickets in his four games played in the tournament so far and is still making an impression in the latter stages of his career. In reviewing his performance, he emphasized the value of practicing particular deliveries in the nets and carrying them out during the game.

“I continue to practice in the nets. The hard work paid off today; I simply backed myself and bowled wide yorkers. We practice bowling with the new ball, but we also practice delivering wide yorkers. We plan to bowl to specific batsmen when you are getting ready in the nets, and it is crucial to execute it every time, support yourself, and have confidence in yourself, Ishant Sharma said.
