Chahar Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan and Nitish Rana were dismissed.

After the match, Rahul Chahar said, ‘We were under pressure because they started well and the spinner had to come back in this match. I loved taking the Tripathi wicket, I am confident in my ability because I have been playing IPL for 2-3 years now. I know Shubman Gill very well, I know he can’t play consistently big shots on my ball. I can throw a spin ball at 90 km / h, which is my strength. ‘
