David (45 not out off 14 balls) smashed three consecutive sixes within the ultimate over as MI efficiently chased the 213-run goal on the house turf of the Wankhede Stadium for a much-needed six-wicket win.
Mumbai are at present seventh on the factors desk with 4 wins in eight matches, similar as Royal Challengers Bangalore, who’re at No. 6 by advantage of a greater web run-rate.
“Yeah, we needed a result. So, it’s an amazing feeling, the crowd was going crazy for us. So when we get up and flying at the Wankhede, there’s no better feeling,” David mentioned on the post-match presentation.
“We’ve probably not played our best game for the last couple of matches. To see how the boys went about it, it’s awesome for us and to see how excited the boys are, it feels really good.”.
David put Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, and Jason Holder away every time they missed their lengths in the long run, and the big-hitting Aussie mentioned that the plan was to go after each bowler.
“Everyone had to be targeted, but it was good batting conditions today. So, tough job for the bowlers there, but personally I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while now and been hungry to get a result for the team. So it feels great,” David mentioned.
With 17 wanted off the final over, RR captain Sanju Samson tossed the ball to Jason Holder but it surely all completed in a short time with three back-to-back sixes off David’s willow.
“It was a little bit sweaty, so I was kind of getting out of the crease and trying to close the angle down (against Holder) and just react to wherever the ball is bowled. At that point, it just had to be good shots and try and hit the middle of the bat,” he added.
