Boult had taken 2-8 in his two Powerplay overs and doesn't have a great record in death overs. "I would have definitely thrown him the ball. But one thing you got to understand, Boult outside of the Powerplay throughout this IPL is going at 14 runs an over.

"That would have been a team decision tactically of not exposing Boult to that moment and time. But in hindsight, you go with your most experienced player
because he has more chances of being clear," Watson told Jio Cinema.
