Lucknow Super Veteran Seemar Evesh Khan emphasized the importance of focusing on execution rather than worrying about the result. He explained that even when others are seen playing, he gets stressed, but when he is bowling, he remains calm and focuses on giving his best. He does not insist on accepting the run; Instead, he trusts his ability to bowl Yorker and always aim for that delivery. He believed in supporting his skills and executing his plan effectively. Avesh also acknowledged the impact of four sixes of Abdul Samad in the previous overs, which shifted the pace of the game to his favor.
While speaking at the press conference after the match, Avesh Khan said, “I try to focus on execution. Because when we watch a match, even if it is someone else’s match, we get stressed. But when I bowl on the field, I never think about whether I will find six or four.
He believed that Samad had only hit two sixes; The score would have been very low, which would lead to the target more.
He emphasized that Samad’s performance changed the game considerably, and the score of 180 resulted in a different result. He also said that scoring 20-25 runs in the final over can provide a cushion for another team, which gives them momentum.
“The last overs are important. Shift of speed. They hit four sixes (Abdul Samad). The speed moved to our side. If they hit two sixes, we would have got 165–170. It was only 10 runs. Whatever I said in the interview, it changes the game. He gives you a cushion in the last over,” he said.
