CSK’s Tushar Deshpande became the star of the show in a recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match, pulling off an amazing hat-trick that played a huge part in Mumbai’s big win over Mizoram. The Chennai Super Kings bowler was on fire, taking four wickets and setting the stage for a fantastic Mumbai victory.
The bowlers did a great job for Mumbai restricting Mizoram to just 77 runs. Deshpande was the hero, knocking down four Mizoram batsmen, and the most exciting part was when he got three wickets in a row in the second over, a hat-trick. Vikash Kumar, Jehu Anderson, and Joseph Lalthankhuma were the unlucky ones who got out.
Deshpande’s magic on the field, swinging the ball and keeping a steady line, made it really tough for Mizoram’s batters. It was like a puzzle they couldn’t solve.
After the bowlers did their thing, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal’s turn to shine with the bat. His quick 46 runs made sure Mumbai reached their target in just 6 overs, sealing the victory. Jaiswal’s aggressive but smart batting gave Mumbai a great start and pumped up the whole team.
Deshpande’s confidence from winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last season really made a difference. He kept it up during the powerplays and at the end of the innings, taking an impressive 17 wickets with a super low economy rate of 6.72. That’s his best performance in a T20 tournament, making him a key player for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
