Aakash Chopra says “You are too slow, my friend” in IPL 2021. Chopra feels Shubman Gill’s slightly slow batting. They could have strangled the Kolkata Knight Riders’ hopes of overhauling the massive target. Also, set for them by the Chennai Super Kings. CSK set a 193-run target for the Morgan-led side in last night’s IPL 2021 final. They then restricted Kolkata to a score of 165/9. Also, in their allotted 20 overs to walk home victors by 27 runs.
“One thing is seen in Shubman Gill that his strike rate is not really flattering. It is okay till the power play but after that, it keeps on slowing down. If you make 51 off 43 balls and your team is chasing 192, you are too slow, my friend. The next upgrade for Shubman Gill is the strike rate,” Aakash Chopra said.
“Desh hai, videsh hai, charcha-e-Venkatesh hai. He got a chance, Dinesh Karthik had missed a stumping earlier, here MS Dhoni dropped a catch. But what a phenomenal player he is. His confidence and skill are of a different level,” Chopra added.

Venkatesh Iyer was put down by MS Dhoni before he opened his account. He made the best use of the let-off by blasting 50 runs off 32 deliveries.
“After that, it was a procession. Tripathi got injured, that was actually a game-changing moment as well. He was one of their main strikers, he used to manage the middle order but he was not there,” Chopra added.
Chopra is decide by stating that KKR had to pay for the dismal form. Also, their middle order and the over-reliance on their openers.
Eoin Morgan
“Morgan’s bat did not fire one more time. That’s a very very sad story. You expect a player like Morgan will eventually come to the party. He still did not, Dinesh Karthik still did not, Shakib Al Hasan batting too low but still did not. You can’t win a final just on the basis of Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill,” Chopra said.
