Riyan Parag | RR captain
Yeah, absolutely. The previous, keeping the previous years in mind, I feel we were not up to the mark in a few years that we've played here, but today I think it was very clinical. It's always about getting better. I feel the way we bowled, the way we started, I would have been happy with 200. But I think the way we clawed back in the middle overs, I still think we were like 20 over par. We should have bowled a little better, executed a little better. Maybe I made a few bad decisions and restricted them to like a 170-ish. But yeah, things to learn every game. (what mistakes were done today while bowling?) I think a few balls here and there.
This is a wicket where not a lot of sixes are hit down the ground, especially our spinners. So I felt at some points we gave a little bit of room, played to the batsman's advantage. So I think as we move forward, we learn from these mistakes and try not to repeat them. (on making their homeground a fortress) It's not really that tough. I think we put enough prep in Guwahati and in Jaipur. So I feel once we did our camp in Jaipur, we had enough days of practice here. We know what the black soil does here. Keeps a little low, is a little sticky. So I think we're well prepared for any home game. Didn't really feel like a home game, but we were really prepared. (plans going forward?) I think very high scoring grounds.
Again, like I said, before the start of the season, that's what my chat with the team was that we want to be a team that assesses wickets really well. And I feel now that we've played on a sticky wicket and we've done so well, once we get a belter, I think we're going to do even better. (on Sooryavanshi) I think everyone loves him. Everyone loves having him around. He likes eating stuff. He likes going out and stuff like that. So we make sure we make that available for him. And he's a 16-year-old kid, 15-year-old, whatever it is. Yeah, very kiddish things. And he's happy with that. He likes a lot of batting. So we make sure that that is presented to him. And if he keeps on batting like that, I think whatever he wants.
