It was really important to win the toss – Shreyas Iyer

During the post-match presentation ceremony, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer lauded his team for playing fearless cricket and mentioned it was important to win the toss. He asserted:

“The mindset we came up in this game, it was outstanding. All the boys did the right things, played fearless cricket. It was really important to win the toss. The teams batting first have won a lot of matches. Everything panned out really well. We were going over-by-over.”

Shreyas Iyer added that they knew Washington Sundar had one over left and targeted him in the 20th over. He asserted:

“The plan was to give Russell the strike as much as possible. We knew Washi had one over left, that was the over we were going to target. It worked out pretty well, hope it works out well in the final game as well. It was an over-par total.”

KKR captain Shreyas Iyer further lauded mystery spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy for their brilliant performances. He elaborated:

“Sunil and Varun stepped-up, they bowled smart and got crucial wickets. We never allowed them to get under our skins, kudos to that. We have nothing to losing now. We haven’t played our A-game yet, that’s what I spoke today.”
