Later in the post-match presentation, he thanked their team’s coach, Ashish Nehra, for backing him and helping him improve his bowling skills. He went on to explain what Ashish Nehra taught him: how to bowl the length balls, as slower balls can’t be effective all the time.

In the post-match presentation, as Mohammed Shami got his hands on the purple cap now with 19 wickets so far in the IPL 2023 stands with Chennai Super Kings’ Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Sharma was given the opportunity to hand over the purple cap to his teammate. With a slip of the tongue, veteran Sunil Gavaskar mistakingly said that Shami was handing the purple cap to Mohit, but Mohit Sharma was quick to it and corrected the veteran by saying, “It was actually the other way around as he was handing the cap to Mohammed Shami.
