LSG vs SRH: Statement
Travis Head | Player of the Match: Lot of fun today. Nice to get this done in 10 overs. Abhi and I have had a few partnerships like this. Just concentrate on getting in good positions, watch the ball hard and try to maximise the powerplay. (On his spin hitting) It is something I have been working on, it will be a big part in the Caribbean as well.
It is important to go 360 in the modern game. (On fearless cricket) The last 12 months, that’s how they wanted me to play in the Aussie team, and that’s what I’ve been told to do here as well. Nothing much that I have to change. (On Abhishek Sharma) I know how hard he works and how deep he thinks, his spin play is second to none. We compliment each other very well. Nice to see him back amongst the runs after missing out the last couple of game.
(On NRR) We didn’t think about it till the Timeout, but after that the boys came out and told us to score quickly. The crowd was exceptional tonight, that’s what we needed after losing the last two.
I haven’t got many things over him, so that’s good to know that I have more runs than David Warner did in his first SRH season. We start again whenever we come out here for the next game.
Pat Cummins: (On did he change the pitch) Maybe Travis and Abhishek did. We just let them go, they are two guys who are very positive and I’m a bowler, it is tough for me to give them any inputs.
(On Travis Head) He’s been like this for 2 years, he hits the tough areas, hits the middle a lot, might not be super conventional. (On Abhishek Sharma) Just an incredible player of spin and pace. With just 2 fielders out, it is really difficult for the bowlers against them.
(On where the game is headed) I think the scores have gone up, and when the wickets are good, it is tough to come up with answers against batters when they get going.
The boys have had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs played is unreal.
