‘Different guys are standing up at different times’: Trent Boult credits ‘hungry’ batting unit for winning the match

“Different guys standing up at different times has helped us win the game from different situations. Jos (Buttler) is a massive player for us and I am sure he must be frustrated to miss out on some runs tonight. But the hunger from the rest of the batting unit helped us cross the finishing line,” Boult told the reporters.

Shubman Gill’s 45 and David Miller’s 30-ball 46 helped Gujarat to a fighting total after losing the toss. It was a start-stop inning which never really generated enough momentum.

Boult lauded Rajasthan’s spin trio of R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa for keep applying the pressure and chipping away with the wickets at right away.

“Twelve overs from Spinners and Sandeep (Sharma) also bowled nicely, closed the match well,” he said.

Rajasthan tops the standings with eight points after four wins in five games. Gujarat is third with six points.

It is a significant win. They had our numbers. It is satisfying to finish these close matches. There are some good vibes in the changing room as well,” he said.

Boult had an ordinary day with the ball but the left-arm seamer took a stunner to dismiss Wriddhiman Saha.

“Crazy one it goes high in the night skies. Obvioulsy in this amazing crowd, you can’t hear much. I would call myself lucky, probably just right place at the right time,” he said.
