“He bowled one six-over spell and one five-over spell. Gamers who bowl within the IPL do not even know how you can bowl greater than 4 overs. He bowled the type of spells quick bowlers are anticipated to. I’ve by no means seen a quick bowler come again so strongly after one 12 months away. What he did at the moment is sort of a fairy story,” Laxmi added.
