IPL 2022: IPL’s most economical bowler Rashid Khan remains committed to bowling cheap overs- check out

“While bowling in T20s it’s always great to take wickets but for me, it’s a bit different because I always focus on economy and that is something which puts pressure on the batters,” Rashid said at the post-match virtual press conference after GT’s five-run loss to Mumbai Indians on Friday.

“But definitely compared to other IPLs, got less wickets this year. In a couple of games I didn’t bowl as good as I should have. But that’s T20, there is so much for you to learn.”

Rashid had a good game against MI, picking up 2 for 24 besides collecting three catches. But it was not to be GT’s day as needing nine runs in the final over, they couldn’t finish off the chase.

“Hardik and (Rahul) Tewatia’s run outs were the game changers. That is the beauty of T20 sometimes you can score 9 off 2 balls and sometimes you fail in scoring 9 off 6 balls,” Rashid said.

“There is a lot to learn, not to repeat the negative things which we did in the last few games.”

MI pacer Daniel Sams, who defended nine runs in the last over, said he was just trying to bowl his best balls.
