“IPL is the kind of tournament where you need the momentum from the start. Always a joy to contribute to team wins. The wicket was seaming a bit, so I took some time but knew we couldn't take a lot of time.
Then I wanted to take the game deep. We wanted to have wickets for the death. We have the awareness if we lose early wickets that the set batter has to play long. I always try to see what I can do better, trying to improve my awareness and skill. I have worked a lot on basics which is helping me be a versatile batter.”
“Good total on the board, it wasn't easy in the first 3-4 overs. The way Sai and Buttler batted was amazing. We'll take 220 any day of the week. And then our fast bowlers were very clinical to finish off the job.
If you have difficulty in choosing the man of the match, it is a good problem for us to have. We are having a team where everyone contributes. Very pleased, when you have bowlers like Rashid it makes the captain's job easy. Everyone is very nice to me.”
“The work we put in as a team is showing. Credit goes to the whole team. We are picking wickets and it becomes easier for me. Lovely team effort. There was some extra bounce in the wicket and why not (when asked if he enjoyed tickling the ribcage), but I mixed it up by going fuller and shorter.
It is to do with the pitch, our motto as a team is to be adaptable and read the pitch early, the communication is there throughout the game. Honestly, it does not feel like somebody (Rashid Khan) is not picking the wickets or doing a job. T20 has become such a game where you need not have a great over but one ball is enough. All in all, the bowlers are doing well and it is starting to show in the wickets column. We were lucky that there was no dew.”
“Around 15-20 runs too many in the bowling. Whenever we wanted to carry the momentum we lost wickets, when me and Hetmyer were batting it was still chaseable but my wicket changed the game. There was some purchase, the way Jofra bowled and picked Gill's wicket...
But the way we bowled at the death, we need to look at it in the meeting tomorrow and come back better. When you lose games we also think should we have chased or batted first. We were expecting these conditions, this was a really good wicket. We want to respect the conditions and want to be a team who can win games while chasing.”
