IPL 2021 Rohit Sharma Pollards wickets most satisfying says Amit Mishra

Kolkata: Amit Mishra, the veteran leg spinner who turned out to be the match winner for Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, has a bigger milestone waiting for him during the ongoing season of IPL. The former international, now the second highest wicket-taker in the history of the league with 164 wickets, is barely six wickets adrift of the retired Sri Lankan pace ace Lasith Malinga - a target which is very much within his reach on the slow Indian decks.

Looking back at his haul of four of 24, which put the brakes on the Mumbai Indians, the 38-year-old said he was particularly thrilled about dismissing Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard.

“The wickets of Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard were special for me because they have been game changers for MI for many years. I always go for wickets in every match that I play. I had a clear-cut plan about where I should bowl and how I could dismiss each of the big players in the Mumbai Indians side through my variations. I am very happy that I could execute my plans. I am even more happy about the Delhi Capitals winning the match,” he said.
