LSG vs PBKS: Statement
Shikhar Dhawan | PBKS captain: They played well, pity that Livi (Livingstone) got injured, that hurt us, he would have come at 4. We started off well, but Mayank bowled well with his pace.
It was nice facing him, I was surprised at his pace, but I wanted to use his pace against him, but he bowled the bouncers and the yorkers well.
I was quite mindful, asked the batters to use the short side and use his pace, but he bowled into his body (on Bairstow’s dismissal) and got him OUT, I said the same to Jitesh as well. But Mohsin bowled really well, he kept a good length and suffocated us.
We will have to analyse these defeats, the drop catch did cost us some momentum. That’s something we’ll have to improve going forward.
Nicholas Pooran | LSG captain: Wonderful start, nice to win in front of the home crowd. We had conversations, spoke about getting good starts. Spoke about getting the right combinations. It was a good total. It’s a big venue, one side is big, one side short.
It’s about getting wickets and getting boundaries. It’s only going to get challenging.
Shikhar and Bairstow played well. They didn’t take the game away from us as we got wickets at the right time.
Mayank’s was the story of the night.That was an inspiring performance, he (Mayank) is a young guy. He showed the entire world how good he is. He is not only fast, but also is accurate. It’s the beauty of the IPL, gives the local players to perform. Wonderful platform.
Every game is an opportunity, expect them to get better with every game. The groundsmen have contributed, as a batsman you can’t ask for anything more.
