Amit Mishra, the senior-most spinner in a young and energetic Delhi Capitals camp, regained his mojo in his team’s five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on Saturday. After dismissing Shreyas Gopal and Stuart Binny off consecutive deliveries, Amit Mishra had a chance of taking his fourth IPL hat-trick. However, Trent Boult dropped a simple catch of Krishnappa Gowtham to deny the 36-year-old leg-spinner another hat-trick in the IPL.
“I don’t know if I have a love affair with the IPL but I am sad about the missed hat-trick. I abused him a little after Boult dropped the catch. I told him it was a simple catch and he could have taken it. Why did you jump unnecessarily?” said the leggie with a laughter at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Mishra was named the Player of the Match for impressive figures of 3 for 17, though he was disappointed after missing out on his fourth IPL hat-trick.
“I told him off in English but he said sorry two or three times so it’s fine,” he added.
“I always try to bowl my stock ball more, because that is important to build pressure. I didn’t get a lot of wickets this season because batsmen are trying to play me out,” he added.
