'I Enjoyed Padikkals Wicket The Most, It Was Crucial': GT Spinner Rashid After GT's Win

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner Rashid Khan said picking key wickets of batters like Devdutt Padikkal at the right time helped his team restrict Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) below 160 runs but dismissal of in-form batter Devdutt Padikkal was crucial in breaking RCBs momentum. RCB were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs despite starts from Padikkal (40) and Virat Kohli (28). Gujarat Titans bowlers kept things tight, with Arshad Khan taking three wickets, while Rashid and Jason Holder took two each. I think the one I enjoyed the most was Padikkals wicket. His wicket was very important at that time. He was set, so getting him out then was key, Rashid said in a video released by GT on X. ' When a batter attacks, you should know which ball is most difficult for him to hit and focus on that. When we practice, we try to land the ball where we want. If you bowl in the right areas, it becomes very hard for the batter to attack, he explained. Rashid also said that pressure works both ways in T20 cricket, and the bowlers should acknowledge that and focus on their plan. As much pressure is on the bowler, the same pressure is on the batter. The key is not to put yourself under pressure and just focus on your plan, he added.
