Happy To Deliver Against SRH: Rashid Khan

Rashid followed the strides of Tewatia and he crushed the third ball for a six. With nine runs needed off 2 balls, Rashid hit two consecutive sixes and took Gujarat over the line.

“Feels good, to go there and have that self-belief and keep my shape stronger and hit it. Happy to deliver against them (SRH), just trying to play my game and have that belief in my batting which I’m working from the last two years. When it was 22 left.

I just told Tewatia that we have given 25 in the last over with one of our best bowlers bowling and I told him that we needed to have that belief and not panic, anything is possible. Just stay there, keep your shape, and hit it strong and that was the plan (with Tewatia),” said Rashid Khan in a post-match presentation.

I Have Not Bowled Well As I Would Have Liked: Rashid Khan

Earlier in the game, Rashid gave 45 runs in his four overs without any dismissal he said, “I have bowled 4-5 bad deliveries which have been punished and that is something I had in my mind, you can’t miss your line and length on a wicket like this. It was a good wicket to bat on, but still, we did well to restrict them to 196.

As I said, I haven’t bowled as well as I would have liked, this is good for my learning and will try my best not to repeat it in the next games. It has been very calm and cool since day one and it’s a great team to be part of and everyone knows the responsibility and respects each other which is a very good thing.”
