Jaipur. In the eyes of Ravichandran Ashwin, death overs specialist bowler Sandeep Sharma is the ‘unsung hero’. Amidst the star batsmen and bowlers making headlines, hardly anyone paid attention to the performance of a player like Sandeep who took the ball in the 14th over against Lucknow Super Giants. At that time Lucknow needed 65 runs in 6 overs while chasing the target of 194 runs. Sandeep gave only five runs in the first over. Apart from this, the dangerous partnership between KL Rahul (58) and Nicholas Pooran (64 not out) was also broken. Apart from this, he gave only 11 runs in the 19th over when Lucknow needed 38 runs in the last two overs.
R Ashwin said that Sandeep Sharma had also performed well in the last season when despite two sixes from Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) in the last over, Royals won by three runs over Chennai Super Kings. Was registered. Ashwin said, ‘Sandeep has been an unsung hero. He is a very aggressive player. Sometimes fighting spirit is more important than skill. Now two bouncers can be bowled in one over and this was a good thing for the bowlers in this competition.

According to Ashwin, ‘I gave a lot of runs in the first over. I bowled in different phases of the game. Now we are getting older and need a different mindset. After giving 15 runs in the first over, I gave 20 runs in the next three overs and also took one wicket.
