Sagar Trivedi dismisses Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube and Suryakumar Yadav in a spell

In spite of Puducherry’s defeat, one of the highlights of the match was the performance of their fast bowler Sagar Trivedi. Trivedi bowled the last over of Mumbai’s innings which yielded only five runs. Additionally, Trivedi also scalped the wickets of three experienced Mumbai batsmen in a span of those six deliveries. He dismissed Mumbai skipper Suryakumar Yadav off the first ball of the over and followed it up by dismissing Siddhesh Lad off the very next ball. He then dismissed Shivam Dube off the last ball of the innings to scalp his third wicket of the over. Earlier in the innings, Trivedi also accounted for the dismissal of Team India’s limited-overs specialist batsmen Shreyas Iyer. Altogether, the right-arm pacer finished with match figures of 4-0-29-4.
