New Delhi. Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant said on Tuesday that after a brilliant performance in the powerplay of the Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen, he told the bowlers so that they should maintain their plan and do not use much. Chasing a challenging target of 239 runs of Super Giants, Knight Riders scored 129 runs for two wickets in 10 overs, but after that their batting order collapsed, causing the hosts to face defeat by four runs.
Pant said after the match, “After the first powerplay, we talked to the bowlers about maintaining the plan and not trying to do much. I think we did not realize it when we batted, but after the powerplay, we knew that the competition would be very close. Certainly it was a cautious decision because when the game is running at that speed, you have to slow down. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I am glad that it has done this work today. ”
After scoring 472 runs in 40 overs in the match, Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane said it was a difficult day for the bowlers and even domestic spinners Sunil Narayan and Varun Chakraborty had to deal with.
Rahane said, “When you are chasing more than 230 runs, you lose wickets while chasing. It was one of the best wickets to bat. It took some time for the batsmen to freeze. With the bowling attack we have, we control the middle overs well. Sunil was struggling with the ball. Sunil and Varun usually dominate the middle overs but today it was difficult for the bowlers. ”
