00:00Look, we didn't score enough runs. I think about 210-220 was pass score.
00:06One or two jammy wickets. One caught down the left side and one hit off the bowler's arm.
00:13So, it's part of the game. We just didn't score enough runs on a good wicket.
00:18A couple of weeks into the match, the Bullets are 2-0 down from the last match.
00:24So, do you think you can catch up?
00:31Not at all. We don't take any team lightly in the RPL.
00:37Everyone is playing good cricket, especially on a wicket like this.
00:41You can put anybody in attack under the pump.
00:46They bowled well in the middle as well, so credit needs to go to them as well.
00:50They picked up early wickets that stopped a little bit of the momentum.
00:53But that's all part of the game. We just didn't score enough runs by one or two wickets early in the innings.
00:59It was difficult to keep on going with the momentum.
01:02This wicket is a good wicket, so it wasn't enough.
01:07Do you think it's imperative for both the openers to be at the top?
01:15Sorry?
01:16Do you think it's a must for both the openers to be at the top?
01:21Not at all. If you look at our batting line-up, we're destructive until batter number eight.
01:26So, you don't need Travis and Abhishek to come off every time.
01:31We're good enough to score runs without them as well.
01:35They put teams under a lot of pressure when they do come off, so that makes our job a little bit easier.
01:40But you will never have a season where both of those score a thousand runs.
01:45It's the way we play. It is on the riskier side.
01:50But no, we're big enough players to know that we need to do it on our own as well.
01:59Can you share your thoughts on Aniket Vardhane, who seems to have a team for Leeds against us?
02:11Look, I didn't know much about him when I arrived here.
02:16I spoke to Dan and he says we've signed two guys.
02:20Abhinav as well, he hasn't come off in the last two games.
02:25Those two guys, he's got something special about them.
02:29They also just need to find their feet in this crazy environment.
02:34He played an unbelievable knock tonight and the previous game.
02:38Also, the one or two boundaries that he hit.
02:41Give him time and he will be someone that a lot of people speak about.
02:46Do you think Samir Dhaka could have taken responsibility?
03:05That's what myself and Atish try to do there.
03:08It's a good wicket. There's not a lot always in this wicket.
03:13To get starts is normal on this wicket.
03:17Myself and Atish try to reset the innings there.
03:22We were about to pull the trigger when I went out.
03:25We just kept on losing wickets in the wrong times and that's part of the game.
03:30It's something that we will take note of and make sure that it doesn't happen too often in this game.
