Former India pacer and ex-Mumbai Ranji captain Raju Kulkarni has lavished praise on Rajasthan Royals’s Mumbai-based pacer Tushar Deshpande for his sharp death bowling in RR’s six-run win over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

“Tushar stuck to the basics while bowling that last match-winning over. He bowled fast, straight and up. He was targeting the stumps and executed it beautifully. Those yorkers were very difficult to hit. What I liked was the way he kept his temperament and handled the pressure calmly,” Kulkarni told mid-day on Sunday.
