00:01I'll stick to this game. You mentioned about one big over and that changed the momentum towards CSK.
00:09And Vaibhav tried his best. I thought both of their batters, Dubey and Provis, they were brave.
00:18They took their chances and that paid off. So that can happen to anything.
00:22But I thought we still came back into the game really well.
00:25We wanted to pick up wickets. We picked up five wickets initially and they had a very good partnership.
00:31But after that, we knew that a couple of wickets, we can still come back into the game and that was the plan.
00:37And I thought as a bowling unit, we did that pretty well.
00:40Six balls, eight runs, MS only on strike. It's tough sometimes, you know.
00:44He can hit a good ball for a six and that's what happened.
00:47Dre tried the Yorker. I thought it was a pretty good ball but went for a six.
00:5212-14 runs would have been really nice, last six balls.
00:57But again, I thought as a team, we fought back really well.
01:01Batting-wise, I thought 15 runs, probably 190. 195 was the total on this wicket, we thought.
01:09But bowling-wise, I thought we did everything what we asked for.
01:13Yeah, I think 15 points we can still qualify. We still got to think positive.
01:26We have two games left, one against Hyderabad and then Bangalore.
01:30So, you know, as a team, we have to be positive, you know, think about, you know, how can we win next two games.
01:36I think as a team, we are playing very good cricket. Last three games were really good.
01:40This one didn't go to our plan, you know. But again, as a team, we are coming back.
01:45Russell, you know, found his form again. Bowling-wise, he's bowling well.
01:49Other ballers are contributing well as well. So, we have to be positive, you know, think about winning next two games.
01:56And then let's see what happens on 15 points.
01:58Sure.
01:59I'm not speaking to this game. Rohit, I have prepared call time on his case KD and Rohit.
02:06Oh, is it?
02:08Yeah.
02:09Oh, okay. I didn't know.
02:10He has his case retirement.
02:11Okay.
02:12So, if you want to say something about Rohit.
02:14No, I think I just want to wish him the best. I thought he has done fantastically well in the test format.
02:22I was, I didn't know. I was actually, you know, I'm actually shocked. I didn't know that he retired in the test format.
02:27But I just want to wish him the best. Whatever his plans are, he has done really well, you know.
02:34Improved his game, I thought, as a test batter. He started his career five, six numbers and then opened the innings.
02:43I thought the way he adapted to that opening slot was amazing to see.
02:47You know, he always wanted to, you know, take on the ballers, play with freedom.
02:51And that's what he wanted other players to do as well, play with freedom.
02:55So, I just want to wish him the best.
02:58Probably I'll call him, you know, once I go back to the dressing room or send him a message.
03:02But just want to congratulate him on a fantastic test career.
03:06Hi, Jaysh.
03:07You did say a 12-15 run shot. This has been an answer which has come a lot of times in the
03:16defeats. But there wasn't really any collapse for KKR today, neither in the previous games.
03:20And KKR also battled No. 9 with Rashid at 10. Still a 10-15 run shot, clearly there's something
03:25like round in the middle or some other point of the game. It has been the theme of the season,
03:32you know, a few years of struggle. But could you just break down that?
03:35How come KKR being a 10-15 run shot when your batting is still 9?
03:40No, I thought instead of, you know, thinking, talking about our batters, I thought they
03:45bowled really well. If you see Pati Rana's two overs, it was crucial. Six runs and then
03:50obviously closing that over really well. You know, our batters tried really well. It's
03:55not about, you know, we were not showing that intent. I thought every batter, they were showing
03:59that intent. It is bound to happen, you know. When we went too hard, you know, we scored,
04:05we actually got out in the previous matches. So, we had our strategies, you know, how to go
04:09about it for six overs and then after six, seven to twelve, thirteen overs and then thirteen
04:14to twenty overs. So, it was about the plan. I thought we were going really strong and I
04:19thought we will get there by around 190-195. But Noor and Pati Rana, I thought those four
04:24overs from them in the end was amazing. Credit to them as well. You know, it's not easy to bowl
04:30those overs. Those are the difficult overs for the ballers. Our batters tried everything, you
04:35know, Russell, Rinku and Manish as well. You know, playing a game after a long time. I
04:40thought he handled the situation pretty well. I don't think our batters did anything wrong.
04:47I thought CSK ballers were pretty accurate today and they executed their plans really well.
04:52Can I ask a follow-up? Yeah. Okay. Ajit Kya, if you chose to pack it out first today,
04:58you can say you were seeing a stat that the last ten years no KKR captured in the evening game
05:02has batted first. Was it pitch or you wanted the runs on the board so your batters had less pressure
05:07in the first game? It was all about putting runs on the board. Because if you see throughout the season,
05:14Batchmen have been struggling. So we wanted Batchmen to go out there and play with freedom.
05:21And the last two games we batted first and we won the game. If you see GT game as well,
05:26we chose to bowl first and we wanted to chase the target. But we could actually slow down.
05:31So we thought if we can bat well, put runs on the board. And I thought we were on the right path to win the match.
05:39But it's a part and parcel of the game. You know, 15 runs here and there. One big over from CSK side.
05:46That changed the momentum for them. But the main thought was, you know, put runs on the board.
05:51Give Batchmen the freedom, fearlessly, and then we can defend the total.
05:56Thank you, everyone.
05:58As you can see, this is a very much more time. You had up the CSK side back in the Rabao,
06:055-6-2-4-5 after the Mouth win. But from there also, you couldn't even defend the total or bowl their own.
06:11So will you say the bowlers lacked today in that way?
06:14I thought, I don't think we lacked, you know. They took their chances. You know, they batted really smartly.
06:20They didn't take chances against Sunny and Varun. You know, they waited for the other bowlers.
06:25And then when Vaibhav came in, they took his chances and that really paid them off.
06:31I don't think bowlers were, you know, they didn't do, I thought personally, they didn't do anything wrong.
06:37That one over, one big over was the difference between the innings.
06:41That one over, two big over were the best.
06:44And then, we thought, I was a little bit inclined.
06:50I mean, the MVP, it was just fine.
06:52I like the MVP thing.
06:53That's it, I mean, it's just fine, but it's like a lot of people, you know.
06:58That's fine.
07:00I mean, it's just fine.
07:02I thinking about why you do a lot of people, that's really fun.
07:04I think it's just a lot of people that you do.
07:06I think the MVP, I think it's alright.
