everything was going according to plan

Rishabh Pant said, ‘This match was really very exciting. Our plan was very clear. We had decided during our practice that we would put tremendous pressure on the opposing team during the powerplay. Initially, everything was going exactly according to our plan, but in a fast-paced format like T20, the game can slip out of your hands very quickly.

We dropped many important catches

Talking about the team’s poor fielding, he said, ‘In T20 cricket, if you want to win, your fielding standard has to be top-notch. We dropped many important catches. However, it is difficult to blame the defeat on any one reason. It is true that it was necessary to take advantage of those opportunities. Nevertheless, the way our team did not give up till the end and showed the fighting spirit to make a comeback is truly praiseworthy.

Urvil’s praise

Comparing Urvil’s batting with that of his own teammate, Inglis, Pant said, ‘Today Urvil played the kind of innings for Chennai that we usually expect from Inglis. In the powerplay, one player has to step forward and take responsibility and Urvil played that role perfectly today. On the other hand, the Chennai team showed more patience than us in the important moments of the match.

give the last over to markram

Pant decided to get Aiden Markram to bowl the last over instead of Shahbaz Ahmed. When asked about this decision, the Lucknow captain explained, ‘You just have to trust a player who has the ability to dominate the opposition in high pressure moments.’ Giving the example of Markram, he said that experience always benefits the team and trusting senior players in difficult situations is true leadership.
