Player of the Match
Nicholas Pooran | LSG
I knew I had to take it as deep as possible. When the spinners were bowling, I knew they’ll give me bad balls and this was a small pitch. I’ve been batting well throughout the tournament, and I pride myself to play in such situations. The time has invested heavily in me and these are the ways that I can repay them.
Ayush (Badoni) and I had that partnership against Chennai as well. I was confident batting with him at the crease. I think it is impressive that our bowlers are standing up to the challenge, they have done it in the last two games. We have a young bowling attack and to come to Eden Gardens and defend that kind of total was amazing.
