Delhi daredevils all rounder Rajat Bhatia is on a high after his match-winning spell against Deccan Chargers, which worked wonders for him last night, was his ability to bowl good yorkers and slower ones.
Terming Wednesday night’s spell of 4/15 as the second best day of his cricketing career, the 29-year-old said he enjoyed the confidence of skipper Virender Sehwag and knew he could turn the match with just one good over.
“I had full confidence in the captain, that he thought that I was capable of bowling in this situation was a bonus. I know that in a Twenty20 game one over can change the match. I was confident that I can do it for my team,” Bhatia said.
“I could not get runs but I bowled well. It was just another day for me where I wanted to bowl good yorkers and slower ones and it worked. At this level we have to learn to turn things around at such stages,” he was quoted as saying in the IPL’s official website.
With Deccan needing 25 runs off the last three overs with six wickets in hand, Bhatia picked up Andrew Symonds and then Dwayne Smith in one over to turn the match in Delhi’s favour.
He later took two more wickets of Pragyan Ojha and Shoaib Maqsusi to end up with superb figures of 4 for 15 in 2.4 overs
