After smashing a quick fifty, the MI batsman had left everyone, including the Gujarat Titans (GT) camp, thinking he would finish the game. It looked like the game was slipping away from Gujarat Titans (GT) as Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma looked set to carry out an incredible chase of Mumbai Indians (MI).

Meanwhile, Mohit Sharma, watching the attack from the field, admitted that at that moment the Gujarat Titans (GT) were convinced that they had lost the match. But then came the turning point, all thanks to the pacemaker.

After the tenth over, GT captain Hardik Pandya handed the ball to Mohit Sharma, the seasoned campaigner who had become a key figure in GT’s death bowling strategy, and it was time for him to deliver. the critical situation.

With Suryakumar in dangerous mode, GT’s plans seemed futile, and Mohit Sharma realized that no strategy could bring a batsman to his knees with such a devastating touch. Still, Mohit held his nerve under immense pressure to complete the task of removing one of the most dangerous T20 batsmen.

His calm and collected demeanor helped the GT pacer turn the tide for the hosts in that IPL 2024 clash in Ahmedabad. Mohit’s masterful variations and precise execution turned the match on its head, leaving MI stunned when he finally dismissed Suryakumar for 61 runs.

You can’t really plan against Surya: Mohit Sharma

However, the pacer admitted that he and his team were lucky to dismiss India’s current T20I captain. Now, Mohit Sharma said that no one can really plan against Suryakumar, saying that he would destroy all the plans in one go, and even he had doubts that he would beat him for six sixes in one go.

Mohit Sharma said on the ‘2 Sloggers’ podcast: “Before my spell, Surya and Tilak were batting very well. He used to bowl after 10 overs that season alone. Before that, I think 2 or 3 wickets were down; They were batting in a way that looked like they were going to chase him with two overs to spare. They were in a completely different area. You can’t really plan against Surya. He will destroy all your plans at once. So I had a clear plan in mind.”

Mohit Sharma added: “He hit me with a six from 90 yards over mid-wicket on the first ball. I had to play those remaining 6 deliveries as is done in Test matches. I had to throw the ball up there. In the second delivery, Surya tried to play a paddle tennis scoop. The length was perfect and reached the top of the bat. I remember after that birth, when we were celebrating, I told everyone that we were lucky. I didn’t say our plan would work. “I said we were lucky.”
