00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Coach, three defeats on the draw.
00:21 How tough do you think will it be to come back from here?
00:24 And another question, a word on Tilak Verma
00:26 and how impressed are you with him?
00:29 I think it's always tough when you have a start like this.
00:32 But we need to look at the positives.
00:34 We've been playing some really good cricket.
00:36 It's just that we're not closing games off.
00:38 All three games, we are in it.
00:40 And we were not able to finish it off.
00:42 So these are concerns, especially with the ball,
00:45 that we are not executing at the back end under pressure.
00:49 Some of the execution has been poor.
00:52 So we need to make sure that we need to brush up on that.
00:55 It's a long tournament.
00:57 Three games, yeah, it is tough.
00:59 But we need to make sure that we get a win
01:01 and get into that good habits.
01:03 And anything can happen, especially with 10 teams.
01:05 There's a lot of teams going to beat each other up as well.
01:08 So we just need to make sure we are in it midway
01:11 through the season.
01:12 Tough luck today, Coach.
01:14 Do you think due to an extra tinge of grass in the wicket,
01:17 this was one of the difficult pitches
01:19 as compared to others to counter in the power play
01:21 as both the teams could not really
01:23 get a move on in the first six overs today, my love?
01:26 Yeah, I think there's a little bit in it.
01:29 We saw in the other two games that was played here as well.
01:32 There's like with the new ball, there's
01:33 always hard to work through.
01:36 So we knew we had to be patient, not to give too many wickets.
01:39 I thought we built it up nicely.
01:41 We probably got behind in that first 10 overs
01:47 even after the power play just to establish ourselves
01:50 because we were losing wickets.
01:51 And yeah, I mean, it's a good challenge to have.
01:54 It's every surface because we are playing in four venues.
01:57 So for us to have different surfaces,
02:01 it's always good.
02:02 There's something for the bowler,
02:03 something for the batsman.
02:05 That's the challenge that you want in IPL.
02:08 Given the way Kamenzo's hitting, Bumrah and Nils
02:12 in the previous couple of overs, do you
02:14 think bringing Amol-E-Kasim would have been a better option
02:17 in that particular point of the game?
02:20 Well, it's quite easy to say hindsight.
02:22 I thought the fast bowlers were easier,
02:24 like the areas we bowled.
02:26 Only thing that we probably would
02:28 have held on to those hard lengths a bit more
02:30 rather than bowling those extra change-ups.
02:34 The short boundaries on the leg side,
02:35 so it is quite easy for even Pat to probably hit
02:39 a few of those slog swims.
02:40 Anything could have happened.
02:42 But yeah, I mean, hindsight, you can say that.
02:45 But it's in a situation like that.
02:49 It was just, what, 35, 36 off 30 balls.
02:54 So we were looking, thinking that the left-armer
02:57 will be able to take it away from him
02:59 and try and create some pressure.
03:02 I want to just ask, what do you think
03:04 they did that seemed like in this match?
03:06 And if missing the role of all-rounder player
03:09 like Hardik and Kronal in this season?
03:12 Well, obviously, we knew that after the big auction,
03:15 you can't keep all your players.
03:16 And our combination is going to be different.
03:18 And we've introduced a couple of young guys.
03:22 And they've been doing really well for us.
03:24 The luck's been fantastic.
03:26 Obviously, Previs is first game for us.
03:30 And we just need to work with them and see how things go.
03:34 Thought the combination that we played suited us
03:38 in the last few games.
03:39 But obviously, something for us to think about.
03:42 It's always going to be hard to replace any of the players
03:45 that we had.
03:45 They were fantastic players.
03:47 And if you see them, they're captaining one side.
03:50 The other guy is captain, vice captain.
03:51 And everyone's performing.
03:53 So that's a quality that we missed.
03:55 And we just need to make sure that we rebuild and get
03:59 our combinations right.
