Aiden Markam: “Thought it was a decent score. lacked one big partnership. Wicket played well, slowed down at the end. [To Abhishek] The message was to bowl into the wicket. Pressure is a different thing. When you are put under pressure by big guys like Stoinis and Pooran, you will be tested. [On why he didn’t bowl] Glenn did his job, I don’t think I was the man for the job [to bowl]. It’s about playing good cricket in the next three matches and you don’t know, it might be enough for us if we win big, I haven’t done the math yet [for the playoffs].”
Krunal Pandya: “I guess the way SRH were going it would be 200. We pulled it back, especially at the death. I saw character in Avesh and Yash. It was a good total. We had to bat well, still I would have taken 175. What we need as an individual and team is belief. Pooran can do wonderful things. We know that. [About message to batters during the break] It was nothing special. It just that we had to go after bowlers. Abhishek conceding 5 sixes changed the momentum. Really happy for Prerak. It will boost his confidence.”
Prerak Mankad is the player of the match: “It was the most important game. Score doesn’t matter to me. I wasn’t happy when I reached 50 because I couldn’t connect well. After that I was able to. I was trying to hit against the spinners and couldn’t connect. I have played against Mayank in the domestic circuit and I knew he would try to get me out. So I took my chance. I thank the management for the opportunity. I have played a few innings in the top four. so I know how to play and I just backed my ability. Stoinis gave me some wise advice at the end and it helped me.”

IPL Points Table
Pitch and weather: Temperatures have touched 40 degrees Celsius and it’s only going to get hotter. The rains that had lashed the city earlier in the month seem to have abated for the moment. Dew has been minimal. Tracks have largely offered consistent bounce and some movement for the seamers. Spinners haven’t quite been as successful in terms of wickets taken but have been more economical.
