P.S. Gt weren't a bad team, they just didn't have the hype of a big team because of supposed lack of a superstar. GT have a superstar but people forgot about him because of circumstances and injuries. :) MI fans know better :)
I think I posted this before too but though of posting again :)
True 😊, but it could very easily have gone wrong for them in the three games I mentioned- T20 is a game of fine margins after all. I'd put Pandya, Miller, Rashid and Tewatia as absolutely crucial to their campaign.
Pandya, especially- changed his batting style to become a more anchor oriented player, and his bowling at 140 was worth its weight in gold towards the end of the tournament- don't think he bowled much at the start for GT. If he keeps his bowling up, he walks into the Indian white ball sides without a question.
With some luck, PBKS could've been in the playoffs too- I liked them as a team though, especially in the batting department.
