So, that also brings an end to our coverage of this game between Kolhapur Tuskers and Puneri Bappa. For now, this is me Hiren Kumar signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Saptak Sanyal,Ayan Chatterjee and scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma. CHEERS!
Ruturaj Gaikwad(Player of the Match and Captain of Puneri Bappa)-"I enjoyed a lot as it was a tough condition. I thought 80-90 when I came to bat but we batted well to add some bonus runs.
We tried to rotate the strike. Rahul Desai played a crucial knock alongside Shinde. Sahil also played a good knock in my opinion. We know they would score well. We knew if we can restrict them and as the boundary on one side is big and we have some quality death bowlers, it was tough for them to chase the run."
Player of the Match- Ruturaj Gaikwad
Time for the post match presentation.
Shrikanth Mundhe(KolhapurTuskersCaptain): "First 10 overs was good, but last 4 overs we lost wickets and not easy for the new batters to get runs. Last 4 overs we could have done better. Experienced player is Ruturaj and he attacks the pacers. We gave away extra runs in an over and that hurt us really badly. Lots of positives to take from this game. Momentum is key. Hope to get a win. Time is there and hope to come back strong in the next few games. Let's see how it goes."
