'I took my chances in Powerplay': Wriddhiman Saha

 "I got opportunity for second time this year and took my chances in powerplay. Initially, ball was holding a bit but I took my chances and went after it after pitch eased out. I'm happy I got selected for Tests in Australia. We are looking forward to winning last two matches for Sunrisers and that's our target w," said Saha during post-match presentation.

His captain David Warner said that y decided to take on ir chances against two of Delhi's world-class bowlers Kagiso Raba and Anrich rtje.

" game before, we were disappointed with that chase. We defended last game, and with two world-class bowlers in rtje and Raba we decided to go after it. I went a little 2009 and opened my front leg to take it on. I took a bit of responsibility at top of order, and take it to bowlers. It's tough to play orthodox cricket in se conditions, so I have to open up 360 degrees. Difficult decision to leave Jonny out and get Saha in, and especially batting a batsman like Kane at 4. Incredible kck from Saha though and his strike-rate in powerplay was incredible. Unfortunately, he's got a little groin niggle but hopefully, it isn't too b. Shankar has a hamstring issue as well. As for Rashid, it is incredible that he's taking so many wickets and t going for runs, especially given dew and moisture here. We've got games at Sharjah to go so hopefully we can put on a show re", said Warner.

His opposite number Shreyas Iyer said that even though it is a big loss for m but y cant bog down at this point of time.

"Definitely a big loss for us but you can't really bog down at this point of time. We still have two games left but one win is really important, that's what we are waiting for since last three games. Back-to-back losses are definitely going to put us under pump. boys are really strong, really motivated and this loss is definitely going to motivate us. We lost game in powerplay itself. Getting 70 runs in first six overs was really commendable and way y went after our bowlers was amazing. We need to have that strong and positive mindset. se losses are t going to put us down. As a team, we have been doing amazing throughout so se few matches shouldn't get into our hes", he said.
