Yuzvendra Chahal (Man of the Match): Two left handers were batting. So Virat told we could go with a medium pacer & if Lewis gets out, you can go. But as Lewis was going good, he told me to come & bowl as to complete the 4 overs. For Lomror, I watched his videos. Knew he would come out & he is very good at the leg side. So had to bowl more wider. Same with Livingstone. I wanted him to go for the covers. I bowled a bit slow to him. In the 1st half, I didn't get that wickets. I t happens sometimes. During the break, I spoke to my family, senior players & to my wife. The SL series happened then. I bowled really well & got back my momentum. We need that confidence in yourself. My bowling is completely on my confidence. I realised that I bowled well in Sri Lanka & had to continue the same for the team as it's a crucial phase for our team.
Players who won most MoM awards in IPL at UAE Venue:
Sanju Samson: We had a great start to the innings with the bat but couldn't capitalize on that. Our middle order needs some work. They have to gain a bit more confidence to play. We all went with the good intent. The wickets were bit too pacey, the people went for the big shots but they mistimed it. It was a hard 1 week for us. As a team, we have to put a fight on this. 150 was a bit easy for the, but we should have give them a hard fight. It's a funny league, can't predict what will happen. But happy with the effort of the boys. We don't have anything to loose from here. This would give us a bit more freedom to play. We could go out and express ourselves in the ground. Anything can happen in the table. But we have to have that faith & give our best till the last game.
