KL Rahul | Lucknow Super Giants Captain: "I have to make up for all the fines and over rates I'll be getting after the game. Yes and no, I try and savor the moment, not get too ahead, try to play the situation, assess the conditions as quickly as possible and pace my innings according to that. Enjoying playing, responsibility and trying to do the best for my team. First thought was that just get the bat on ball, feel good, get off the mark and get as mentally strong as you can be. This venue has been good to me but the first ball ducks play on your mind but I'm lucky I could play long and make a contribution to my team. Like I said, I try to simplify my game by seeing what's expected out of me, we do bat deep and our No. 8 has hardly batted so far. When you have depth in your team, you can afford to take chances and that's the probably the reason to do what's expected at the best of my ability. Teams that can defend well or bowl well in the power play are the teams that win the tournament. We were very clear going into the auction and I'm big on having all rounders in my team. It makes my life easier to have options."
