Bowling a part timer the 16th over was not a mistake. It was a blunder.. #SRHvsLSG

The only difference between the two is that in one over of Abhishek, 2 batsmen hit 5 sixes together, while in Yash’s over only one batsman hit 5 sixes. Irfan Pathan called Hyderabad’s blunder to get Abhishek done in the 16th over. He said that getting the 16th over done by the part-timer was not a mistake but a blunder.
