In the post-match briefing after Punjab outsmarted Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2 of IPL at Ahmedabad on Sunday night, Hope said Shreyas did that a couple of times in this edition and it was a classy knock.

“Purely because of the brand of cricket that we play, but also the fans that we have. And most importantly, it's a journey that's been filled with lots of highs and lows,” Karthik said in the RCB podcast.

On Dinesh Karthik joining RCB coaching staff, Bobat said that in DK’s case they were really keen to add him the moment that he was aware that he was contemplating retiring.

“It's just clear planning, obviously, first of all, and then clear execution and committing to that delivery you're trying to bowl. So just nice, clear mindsets. And yeah, we've been doing that nicely,” Hazlewood said.

“Fast bowlers used the surface well, Suyash chipped in well. He bowls in line of the stumps, which is his strength. I don't give him a lot of ideas, don't want to confuse him,” said Patidar after leading the team to fourth IPL.

Suyash whose impressive spell of three for 17 included Shashank Singh debutant Musheer Khan, the dangerous Marcus Stoinis, it didn’t matter whether he bowled a googly, leg-break or a flipper.

Harshal’s first wicket of the match pushed him into an elite group of IPL legends for he became the 13th bowler in the league's distinguished history to have taken more than 150 wickets.

Interestingly, this time around, it seems that unlike in the case of Rohit, who according to many reports, was informed that he may not be considered for the England tour, it is the other way round with Kohli with the star batter himself taking the call.

“ We'll dive into this game and really go through in detail and with a fine tooth comb and come up with a few ideas of where we can learn and improve,” the Aussie pacer said in the post-match briefing.

“When he bowls, he actually reminds me of how Vinoo Mankad used to be. Mankad wasn’t a huge turner of the ball, but he had subtle variations — line and length, changes of pace, occasional bounce and even a high full toss kind of beamer,” Gavaskar said on Kuhl Fans Match Centre Live on JioHotstar.

It is never easy for any fast bowler to see the batter (Phil Salt) hit you for the biggest six of the season (105 m) and then have him bowled the next ball! But, that may be symbolic of the fighter Siraj has been over the years.

On Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar playing under Virat Kohli, the former India captain said that Patidar played under Kohli and spent a lot of time with him, so he would have obviously gelled a lot easier.
