IPL 2019: Amit Mishra admits abusing Trent Boult after missing out on 4th hat-trick

In the post-match presentation, Amit Mishra admitted he did abuse Trent Boult for dropping a simple catch that had earned him a hat-trick

Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by five wickets to knock them out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019. Veteran spinner Amit Mishra was named Player of the Match as he returned with figures of 3 for 17 at the Feroz Shah Kotla. However, there was a moment when he was left disappointed as he couldn't clinch the 4th hat-trick of his IPL career. In the 12th over of the Rajasthan's innings, Mishra dismissed Shreyas Gopal and Stuart Binny off successive balls and had a chance of taking his fourth IPL hat-trick but Boult dropped, what looked like a simple catch of K Gowtham. Later in the post-match presentation, Mishra admitted he did abuse Trent Boult. “I don't know if I have a love affair with the IPL but I am sad about the missed hat-trick. I abused him a little after Boult dropped the catch. I told him it was a simple catch and he could have taken it. Why did you jump unnecessarily?” said the leggie with laughter at the post-match presentation ceremony. “I told him off in English but he said sorry two or three times so it's fine,” he added. The 36-year-old is the second highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 155 wickets. Mishra said he believes in building pressure with his stock delivery and understood why batsmen want to play him off without giving him too many wickets. So far, he has taken nine wickets in the nine matches he has played for the Delhi-based franchise in this season. “I always try to bowl my stock ball more, because that is important to build pressure. I didn't get a lot of wickets this season because batsmen are trying to play me out,” he added.
