Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer admitted that it바카라s 바카라tough to stay calm바카라 in nail-biting matches such as their one-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but he was a relieved man after the team managed to garner all-important two points. (As It Happened | Scorecard)
The KKR made a strong 222 for six, but the Bengaluru outfit gave them a mighty scare before getting all out for 221 off the final ball of the match.
바카라It takes a lot off your body and drains you out completely because you go through so many emotions. It바카라s tough to stay calm but I바카라m elated. We got two points on the board and that바카라s all that matters,바카라 said Iyer during the post-match presentation ceremony.
바카라It바카라s extremely tough when the pressure is on. I feel that every individual should put their hands up and take the responsibility.바카라
Iyer made the effort of Andre Russell (3/25 and 27 off 20b) as pointer to his statement above.
바카라Russell did the job for us by picking up two wickets and completely changed the game in our favour. That is the kind of attitude needed in the team.바카라
Even though pacer Mitchell Starc nearly made a hash of the defence of 21 off six final balls, Iyer didn바카라t fault the Australian.
Starc conceded three sixes to Karn Sharma in the 20th over as RCB almost snatched a stunning win.
바카라It바카라s a funny game, when you need 18 runs off 6 balls, the pressure is on the bowler. One six here and there, it completely changes the momentum. It is important that we maintain our calmness and stay in the present and make the batter hit where you want them to hit.바카라
Iyer was also delighted to contribute to the team바카라s cause with a fifty.
바카라It was a pivotal knock. I wanted to stay till the end and steady the ship. We got some important boundaries towards the end and I was very happy about that.바카라
Man of the match Russell said he has always been confident about his bowling irrespective of the match situations.
바카라I always back my bowling. Getting the ball at a crucial time, I knew that I had to come good and thankfully it happened. When I was batting earlier, change of pace was difficult to hit. As a bowler that바카라s what I wanted to do. The slower balls were gripping and holding.바카라
Russell bagged the all-important wickets of Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar that threw RCB바카라s chase out of gear.
바카라I was happy to get the two set batters out and I think that바카라s what changed the game. Those two wickets from (Sunil) Narine were also very important and that바카라s what started the slide for RCB.바카라
Russell also bowled a wonderful 19th over in which he picked up the wicket of the in-form Dinesh Karthik.
바카라I had two (overs) left and I conditioned myself to bowl that (19th) over. I tried to give Starc as many runs as I could. DK wasn바카라t getting off strike so I looked at bowling six deliveries to him and mix it up, thankfully it worked.바카라
This was RCB바카라s sixth defeat on the trot and skipper Faf du Plessis said they will keep trying to turn the tide in the remainder of the tournament.
바카라We were desperate (to win)바카라10/10 from an effort perspective. The way we put up the effort in the ground, the faces told the story. We've got an unbelievable fanbase, we want them to have a smile on their face. We'll have to continue putting in our efforts and try to change things around.바카라
