Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane credited the match in his favor against Delhi Capital in the IPL match here on Tuesday. Chasing 205, Delhi watched well on the track, before the woman produced game-turning in the 14th over, which rejected dangerous Axer Patel and big hitting Triston Stabs in quick succession. “When Sunil came to Bowl and took two wickets, and when he lost three wickets in the middle, I thought it was a game for us,” Raine said in the post -match performance.
“He has been a champion bowler for this franchise. A match-championate. As a captain, he and Varun (Chakraverthi) are good.”
Narin, who finished with 3/29 figures and was named the Player of the Match, said that he always returns himself, even when things are not going in his way. Against DC, he was 0/25 after 2.1 overs before turning the tide with that decisive 14th over.
“I am still back to come back and distribute to the team. There are games that you start quickly and later struggle and are games that you start late,” Narin said.
Exer Patel, the captain of Delhi capitals, felt that his side conceded a lot of runs during the powerplay.
“The way we bowled in the powerplay, he thought we had given a lot of much to 15-20. In chasing, some wrong-licking and soft dismissal occurred.
“The way we banned them after the powerplay. The way we batted, even if two-three batsmen have done well, we lost very little. When you lose a close match, you know that you have to calm down in between.”
The Exer went out of the field during KKR’s batting after injuring his left hand.
“My hand was dragged on the surface, so the skin was peeled. So whenever I tried to bat, it was hurting. We have a difference of three to four days before the SRH game, so I hope to recover.”
