IPL 2022: Great to have a potent bowling unit, says Gujarat's Lockie Ferguson after win over Delhi

Gujarat Titans to victory with his four-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Saturday, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson said that having a potent bowling unit makes things easier for him. Shubman Gill's 84-run knock and Ferguson's 4 for 28 guided Gujarat to a 14-run win against Delhi here at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. "It was one of those nights; and with the kind of bowling partners I have, it makes things very easy for me. It's great (to have a potent bowling unit), helps to spread calmness in the group. The pressure was coming from both ends with the ball and it worked for us," said Ferguson at the post-match presentation.

New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson scalped four wickets for 28 runs in a stunning display of pace and accuracy after Shubman Gill's imperious 84 to help Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs and register their second consecutive win in their maiden IPL season on Saturday.

"There was a lot of bounce in the surface and I was looking to bang away on that at hard length. Some gripped and it worked for me with Rishabh's (Pant) wicket. It was a good all-around performance from the bowlers. Hardik (Pandya) is always giving us confidence to play the game that we want to play, and it's nice to have a captain who trusts your skills," Ferguson added. Chasing a 172-run target Delhi Capitals did not get an ideal start as Gujarat skipper Hardik dismissed Tim Seifert off the very first ball of his spell. In the fourth over, Ferguson was introduced into the attack and he struck twice, dismissing Prithvi Shaw for 10 and Mandeep Singh for 18, to leave Delhi
