Player of the Match
Tim David | Royal Challengers Bengaluru
It didn’t feel so easy. I don’t know what to say. I think definitely boys batting up communicated it to me. The practice pitches have played similar. Our coaching staff and management have built the squad for a reason.
If I get an opportunity to bat up, I will look to contribute for my team. At times when you are trying too hard, it doesn’t come off. Tonight was difficult. You had to manage risks a little bit.
Would want to having a drink after the team wins. We have been faced with different conditions in each game at home. We haven’t played well at home. We need to find a template. We will have to regroup quickly as we will play Punjab.
