Milestone
So, a thumping win for the Lucknow Super Giants over the Chennai Super Kings to get back to winning ways. It's time for us to take your leave. It was a pleasure bringing you all the updates from this clash. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Ninaad Dixit, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentators Akshay Bhide, Deepak Prakash and Sidharth Gulati and scorer Paras Yadav. Bye Bye.
KL Rahul (LSG Captain and Player of the Match): "Feels good at the end of the day for you to make all the decisions right. We committed to what our plans were and we did what was expected for the team and then we went to the runs. Really happy with that.
Its generally how I try to deploy my bowlers. It depends on the kind of wicket we are playing on and the kind of batters there are. There's a bit of time we spend doing homework and talking about tactics and strategies against the opposition. That was one of our strategies to use pace and spin, try to mix it around and not let them settle down. Credit to the bowlers as they executed really well. We worked really hard at training and its good to see that the team is sticking to the plans.
Halfway stage, I would have been happy with 160. Felt like the wicket was a bit slow, bit of a grip but not too much. 160-165 would have been ideal. But its MSD, he walks in and the pressure gets to the bowlers and that's the presence and intimidation that he's had over teams and oppositions and bowlers. We have a young team and its the first time they were put under pressure by a huge figure like MS and the crowd was really loud. They stuck to their plans but he is a phenomenal player to still hit that for sixes. 15-20 runs extra but we knew if we batted well, we can get to the total.
I've been trying to assess the situation and see what I can do best for my team and today was another such day where I tried and it came off. I knew that with Chennai's spinners they will try to create pressure. We got off to a good start. I tried to take the bowlers on and it came off really well. When you don't lose a wicket then life gets easier and you both can take a chance.
Its a different ball game playing in Chennai. I was telling the boys in the huddle to get used to it as we will get it again maybe a bit louder in a couple of games. Its good fun and exciting. A young team enjoying playing under pressure, it brings the best out of the players and that's what you learn from the experience. Looking forward to playing CSK again."
