Credit to Starc but saliva makes a lot of difference: Nitish on Super Over loss

Rajasthan Royals batter Nitish Rana credited Mitchell Starc for his sensational 20th over but added that the return of saliva had made a massive difference to the game.

"We had our moments, but Starc was ice cold under pressure...to execute 11 out of the 12 yorkers he bowled perfectly at 145 Km/hr with the ball reversing, you have to give him the due credit", Rana said in the post-match press conference.

"The difference that comes from applying saliva, the reverse-swing that we got to see from Starc - obviously the credit goes to Starc, but the saliva makes a lot of difference," Rana added.
