Jos Buttler’s sharp performance leads to striker out, departs Kuldeep Yadav Gujarat Titans registered a dramatic victory by just one run.Ravichandran Ashwin opens in his video Youtube Ashwin said: “I was thinking what would have happened with Kuldeep and David Miller. If I were Kuldeep, I would have pushed him to the other end. I can’t understand it. I can’t understand it. It’s beyond me. It’s crazy.” “Because if you want 4 or 6 runs, that’s right. You need 2 runs. What’s the probability? You can get 1 run. Kuldeep will at least get into the bat. Or if he doesn’t get into the bat, you can run away. Even if Kuldeep gets hit for 210 runs, if you get a super over, you’ve done well. I can’t accept that,” Ashwin further said.While Ashwin admitted that anyone can make mistakes, he could not find the logic behind Miller’s decision to reject the chance for a solitary equalizer.“Anyone can make mistakes. Everybody can make mistakes. There’s no doubt about it. I’m sure David Miller is very frustrated at this point. But I couldn’t concentrate. What were your thoughts at the time? I don’t know, man. Delhi has such a strong team. We discussed it. But I still told you that Delhi might find a way to kick themselves out of the tournament. If you lose like this, you are doing two things,” Ashwin said.Former Delhi Capitals player Ashwin feels Miller’s call hurt the confidence of the team while giving a huge psychological advantage to the Gujarat Titans going forward.“One, you shake the confidence of the team. Two, if a team like Gujarat Titans loses today, they will be thinking after the game how to get to the finish line from here. They will be thinking. There will be a catch-22. But you get them back from the game. But you give them a lifeline when you are still stuck in four-point trouble,” he concluded.
