Very pleased. The talk for us earlier was that these two matches were going to decide where we stand on the table, so very happy with how they went. There is no such conversation (between me and Sai Sudharsan that one of us has to stay till the end), we want to play our best game, score as much runs, we never say that one of us has to stay in the end. We just want to bat deep. We were ahead in the game, but it’s important to close the game. Good teams close the game very well. In this format it’s very difficult to have a perfect game, like ven today maybe 10 more runs if I had stayed there. But still you have to find a way to win the game and that’s what we’re really good at.
Shubman Gill(Gujarat Titans’ captain) said post-match
I thought 199 was chaseable, we came back into the game really well with the ball. You expect good opening starts, but that’s what we’re struggling with throughout the tournament. But we need to learn as quickly as possible. The pitch was a little slow, but when we were bowling we thought something below 210 or 200 would be good. We need to bat better, especially in the middle overs. We need better opening starts, no complaints from our bowlers. Every game they’re improving. Yes, fielding is something in our control, if you can save 15-20 runs that’s always better. It’s all about attitude, but the guys are working hard. This format is about being brave as a batter, you can’t think too much about the past, just learn from the mistakes and take your chances, have a positive mindset. If you think about getting out, you will get out. Instead you should think about scoring runs or hitting boundaries. We have quality batters in the middle order especially, I back them but you have to be brave. Good to see Angrkish batting really well. Today was a situation we wanted to push the other batters up.
