After restricting GT, after a 120-run stand between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, to 180/6, Markram and Pooran delivered big hits that pretty much seemed to have ended the game in the first half of the run-chase. However. GT bowlers contained their opponents well, taking the game till the last over.
During the post-match presentation, Pant said, “Definitely feeling happy. We just follow the same path and believe in our ability and just take one game at a time. The idea was to bowl yorkers and slower balls into the wicket (On how they kept GT in check towards the end). Bowlers put it in the right place to pull it back for us. The start (with the ball) was not happy but the way we pulled it back was amazing. I am feeling much better with every game. The more time I spend on the wicket I am going to feel better. We are happy to have Nicholas Pooran in our team. You want someone like that to be in our team than the opposition. The way he has been batting is phenomenal.”
LSG will next play against CSK on Monday in Lucknow. (ANI)
