He also lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag for putting the team in a strong position after losing two wickets. Speaking to broadcasters, he explained: 

"We have played some really close games this season, won a couple of them and lost this one. Credit to the SRH bowlers for the way they fought back. The margin of error is very less in the IPL. The game is never done till it is done. It was tough to bat against the new ball and when it got old, it became easier. Credit to both youngsters (Jaiswal and Parag), myself and Jos (Buttler) got out in the powerplay, they played well and got us to that position," he concluded.
