Williamson tired of coming 2nd
Be it in the World Cup or IPL, Kane Williamson is “getting tired” of finishing second in Super Overs. The New Zealander's latest tryst with the Super Over came on Sunday when his team Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to achieve the desired result against Delhi Capitals. “I am getting tired of coming second in the Super Overs,” Williamson said. “Throughout the game, whenever there is a Super Over, as a batting side chasing a score that was very competitive, there are a lot of positives to take out of it. “It is really uncanny in game of cricket that things can end in a tie but I suppose it is very, very exciting. A lot of positives, we move on really quickly to Delhi,” he added.
‘Volunteered to bowl super over’
Delhi Capitals' left-arm spinner Axar Patel said that he had volunteered to bowl the high-octane Super Over in their win over SRH, which was his first game since recovering from Covid-19. “When I was in the dressing room, I knew that the pitch would assist spinners,” Axar said of the challenging Chepauk track. “When we went down, there were a lot of discussions. We thought initially that we could go with a pacer since they will be sending a left-right combination. “After that, just when we were going to the ground, I thought, even a spinner could be effective. So I told Rishabh ‘Even I can bowl, think about it'. So he spoke to (coach) Ricky (Ponting) and it was decided at the last moment that I will bowl.”
