Brad Hogg slams Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan for Bangalore vs Mumbai Super Over outcome
After former England captain Kevin Pietersen, Australian cricketer-turned-commentator Brad Hogg recently took to Twitter for questioning Rohit Sharma’s decision, that led to his side’s defeat in the Bangalore vs Mumbai Super Over contest. After the match, the Mumbai skipper said that Ishan Kishan was too “drained out” to bat again in the Super Over after his initial 58-ball knock. Reacting to Sharma’s post-match comments, Brad Hogg criticised his decision and also slammed Kishan himself for not batting again.
Brad Hogg was of the opinion that Ishan Kishan should have batted in the Bangalore vs Mumbai Super Over contest, since he is a young player, who was getting his first opportunity in this year’s Dream11 IPL 2020 season. The former Australian cricketer also mentioned that the youngster played only seven games last season and because of his 99-run knock, he held the momentum to see his team through for a win.
