Rashid’s triple strike made the difference, allowing the Sunrisers to defend 162 for their first win of the IPL season on Tuesday.

“It’s been a difficult year and a half for me, first my dad passed away and then my mom (in June of this year). And it took me a bit of time to get back. My mom was my biggest fan, especially at IPL and when I it was the MoM, she always talked to me during the night, “recalled an excited Rashid at the post-match presentation.
Rashid said he did not feel the pressure entering the field and reaped the benefits of bowling faster than usual on a slow surface.

“I pitched faster today, when I started and pitched my first ball, it hit me. You need two or three balls to know what the correct rhythm is. Under these conditions you need to throw a one-length backstroke at the batters.

“Warner (the captain) always backs me up and tells me that you know what’s best for the team. Only when things don’t go the way I do and I ask the captain what to do.”
Lost pattern Shreyas Iyer said his team misread the conditions in their first game here.
“They outplayed us in all three departments and they are recognized for that. 162 was an even score on this wicket. It was surprising and in the second inning, (the pitch) was two-paced. When I walked in, the ball wasn’t there. “He’s getting to the bat. We thought the dew would come, but we cannot give any reason at this time, “he said.
“We didn’t execute the way we wanted to. A lot of learnings from this terrain and the conditions. Ricky came in (during the timeout) and we needed a hitter to take the risk as the required rate was quite high.
“The field is very big and we did not take advantage of taking doubles. We knew that the limits are great here and the doubles will be key for us. It did not work for us, hopefully next time we can maximize the opportunities,” he said. additional.
