Chahal’s hat-trick was missed by Karun Nair’s mistake

Trent Boult took the wicket of Ishan Kishan, while Ashwin took the wicket of Tilak Verma to get his team back. However, he still needed to take wickets to ensure Rajasthan’s victory, which was delivered by Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra Chahal made Tim David LBW in the first ball of the 16th over, while Daniel Sams was caught by Jos Buttler on the second ball. Chahal was on the verge of taking a hat-trick for the first time in the history of IPL and he almost did it. Murugan Ashwin, who came to bat, tried to defend on the third ball but the ball took the edge of the bat and went to Karun Nair standing at slip, however Karun Nair could not catch the catch and Chahal missed the hat-trick.

What did Chahal say when he missed the hat-trick?

After the match, when Chahal was talked about missing a hat-trick, he said that he felt very bad because it was the first time he was on the verge of taking a hat-trick.

He said, ‘I feel a little bad but it is part of the game. Our main aim was to win matches for the team. It was a very fun match and it would have been great if I had got my hat-trick because I haven’t achieved any so far. My plan was clear that any new batsman who comes, he has to bowl the googly. There was good bounce on the pitch and the ball was spinning, so I looked at the conditions and understood what the team needed. I thought whether I should focus on getting economical overs or should I take wickets, and accordingly the line and length were taken care of. There was no dew in the first match played in Pune and there was no dew in today’s match, now let’s see what will happen when we bowl in the swimming pool (Wankhede).
