Petrol vs diesel: Which car engine really saves more money in daily driving?
Mumbai Indians' bowling unit had a tough outing but managed to restrict GT under 200. However, fielding lapses cost them dearly. One such instance saw an overthrow result in five extra runs. The incident occurred when Sai Sudharsan pulled a delivery from Deepak Chahar. Fielder Naman Dhir aimed for a run-out at the non-striker’s end, but his throw missed the stumps and, with no backup, the ball raced to the boundary.
The blunder left former India cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar unimpressed. Speaking on the incident, he said, "That's absolutely terrible cricket. No wonder Deepak Chahar is not happy. Those five runs go against his name!"
