'Credit To The Captain For Using Akeal At The Right Time': Boucher
Former South African: Former South African cricketer Mark Boucher lavished praise on captain Ruturaj Gaikwad for using spinner Akeal Hosein in the powerplay, which proved to be crucial in Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) dominant eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
West Indies' top bowler made a sudden impact in the game as he gave away just seven runs in two overs of the powerplay and also took a crucial wicket of KL Rahul, which halted the home team's momentum, and they eventually scored just 155 runs in 20 overs after losing five wickets for just 61 runs.
“Akeal Hosein made a big impact because he consistently hit the right areas and made full use of the conditions. There was a noticeable turn in the surface, especially in the first innings, and CSK’s spinners exploited that really well. That early phase proved crucial; Delhi Capitals weren’t able to read the conditions or adjust their approach accordingly," Boucher told Jio Hotstar.
