KL Rahul LSG Skipper Statement
The LSG Skipper said it was an excellent performance, and the wicket was tricky. Further, he added that there was help from the Fast bowler, and it was very sticky. He felt that by the time the opposition’s bowler assessed the length they had to bowl, they had scored the excellent runs they needed. That one ball bowled by Mayank was great, and it was good to see him bowl. He praised Mayank for the way he bowls the way he bowls and brought a trend in T20 Cricket.
De Kock Statement: He starts by saying that he was always scoring for the team, which is lovely. Batting first is always tricky in Bengaluru. On the other hand, he thought 180 was not enough. The way the ball was holding and bouncing allowed him to bat more time in the middle overs, and Mayank was there to have with the ball. It is really well, and we are glad he is there on our side.
