Mumbai: Swashbuckling New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson, who played a blistering knock to flatten Rajasthan Royals last Sunday and help holders Mumbai Indians qualify for the IPL playoffs, said that the T20 format has troubled him a bit.

“I think T20 is the one format where I have struggled the most out of all the formats. The more I start playing, the more I am starting to learn,” said Anderson on Tuesday at the Brabourne Stadium ahead of tomorrow’s IPL Eliminator against two-time champions Chennai Super Kings.

The defending champions produced an improbable run chase against the Royals and Anderson starred with a brilliant, unbeaten 44-ball 95 as his side overhauled the target of 190 in 14.4 overs.

The left-handed batsman, who holds the record for scoring the fastest ODI century in 36 balls against West Indies, said if Mumbai can maintain a fearless attitude then they could be a force to reckon with.

“We were fearless in the way we played the last game and if we can continue that and the momentum that we have got, then we can have a real shot at winning this (match).

“If we keep that fearless nature about us, then I am sure we could be a force to reckon with,” said the 23-year-old cricketer from Christchurch. (PTI)
