who said what?
Silver Patidar, RCB captain
I think the way we saw the wicket, it was quite different, we thought it is a good batting wicket, but we did not bat well. I don't think so (if the batsmen were very confident), every batsman was in a good frame of the mind, showing the appropriate intentions. But this was not acceptable to go from 4 to 90 for 80 for 40 to 90, we have a good batting line-up, but we need to assess the situation. This has been positive, the way Tim David had accelerated it was amazing, bowling in the powerplay was special. We are not thinking about our distant records, but we just need to play good cricket and keep it simple.
Exer Patel, DC Captain
The way the team is playing, everyone is confident and four of the four feel good to win. They prefer to face pacers, so I thought it was a good option to use spin early. The ball was stopping and there was some bounce, so I felt that it was difficult to hit the spinners in the powerplay. I was probably a mistake by the 19th over. But this is fine because we have won. The way they are bowling – Kuldeep has been doing it for years, but is a special word for Vipraj. The way he bowled, even in the 18th over, he was confident. In the order, my job with a person like Rahul becomes easier. I have also been used as a floater earlier, so I know it is not easy. A person like him is great. He played a mature innings and is continuing the form from the Champions Trophy.
KL Rahul, match players
It was a little difficult wicket. What was helping behind stumps for 20 overs, just to see how it was played. With the wicketkeeping, I felt that the ball was sitting in a while in the wicket, but it was consistent the whole time – it was not a two -book, it was across one. I knew what my shots are. Just wanted to get down for a good start, be initially aggressive and assess it from there. If I was trying to hit a Big Six, I knew which pocket to target. The wicketkeeping made me feel a feeling of how the other batsmen played and where they were rejected. Got lucky with a dropped catch. This is my ground, this is my home. I know it better than someone elseEnjoyed playing here.
