That’s all from the rain-curtailed game, folks! For now, it’s me, Deepak Prakash, signing off from this space, along with my co-commentator, Dev Rajawat, and scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. Cheers!
A complete performance from Dindigul Dragons, who finally ended their losing streak in style. Salem Spartans, meanwhile, have plenty to ponder after another defeat.
Baba Indrajith (Player of the Match and Dindigul Dragons Captain): (On his quiet celebration after reaching fifty) "I felt like the job was not yet done. It's been a tough season for us. After the first game, I think we didn't win three games on the trot. So, I felt like the job at hand was much more important than me scoring.
(On dealing with the pressure after three successive losses) There's always pressure. As you said, I'll be lying if I say there's no pressure. But over the years, with the experience, what I think is, there is pressure - you have to embrace it. What is the maximum you can do? You can try - you can put your best foot forward. I've been working for the last few months, so you trust your preparation and see what happens. I'm thankful to God because there were a couple of instances where I was lucky, two catches and one no-ball.
(On the positives from the team's performance) Obviously, the opening partnership, right from the time VK Vineeth has come into the XI, I think he's been playing well. Shivam Singh is back in form. And I think the rest of the batting order, everybody is chipping in.
(On building momentum going into Chennai) I hope it's the right time to peak and we continue the form going into Chepauk, Chennai."
