Who said what?
Rishabh Pant, LSG (Loss captain)
We knew we had 20 short points. In Lucknow, Toss played a big role. The one who bowls first, they get a lot of help from the counter. We just had to stay back, we just couldn’t keep it away. It always happens in Lucknow, in the second round, the counter is improving and hitting yourself, that’s how the game is going on and you can’t complain. Yes, Toss plays a huge role here, but as a team, we are not looking for excuses. This is an idea of ​​the reason why we have an impact on Ayush, to get Mayank playing time, just trying to find ways to do it early in the season, because it is already halfway. He came from the NCA now, just trying to integrate it. (On him, striking order today) was to help capitalize. We sent Samad to capitalize on a counter like that. After that, Miller entered and we are really stuck in the counter. In the end, these are the things we have to understand and try to find our best combination in the future. (On the next games far from my home) I did not think anything about what has just finished the match, we are going to group, realign and refocus again. I’m just going to play the next game from a new start.
Axar Patel, DC (winning captain)
The way we started with the ball, we did not take a counters but we controlled the game. Once we picked up 2 quick counters, we had the momentum and all the quisors did well to restrict them less than 160. I have a slight injury, that is why I have not been buckling up to now and today, I felt good rhythm and I was kicking up. I also watched the matches (whenever I made a change of bowling alley) and that’s how I turned my quisters and all responded very well. I always play according to my strengths every time I went to the stick, no matter the position I hit, and I managed every time I tried to align a bowling player, so I feel good. We can improve our alignment a little. The chances of decline will be crucial during crisis games.
Mukesh Kumar, DC (match player)
Feels really good. I really enjoyed the bowling alley on this counter. Before bowling down my second, I had a conversation with the other quaisors and they told me that it stopped a little so I tried to mix it. I always communicate with the skipper concerning my plans, whether I bowl more slow balls or Yorkers. Mitchell Marsh Wicket was really crucial, and picking up his counter was really the key to the team at that time. I was trying to play like that from the start, but it did not happen and I would like to take this form in the future.
