🏏IPL 2023: Match 14 - PBKS vs SRH on 09/04/23 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 42

Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan: "As a batting unit, we lost too many wickets back to back and couldn't put up a big total on the ground and because of that we lost the game. 175-180 would have been a reasonable score. The wicket looked quite good but it was seaming and swinging. There's lots of learning as a team for us and we're gonna go and analyze where we can get better and come back strong. I'm enjoying the captaincy and leading the side from the front. We've got a great bunch of boys, really enjoying the tournament and taking it day by day."

10.59 pm Well how about that. It's not every day that an IPL match ends in under three and a half hours these days, let alone four. Shikhar Dhawan's very special 99 not out winds up in vain. Markande takes four wickets in the field to set up a low total before Tripathi finishes it off.

Dont know but i dislike them from starting

From srh

Mayank - 4/15 (4), 21 runs from 20 balls

Rahul Tripathi - 74(48) not out

From pbks - Dhawan - 99

I think MOTM - Mayank markande deserves it

At one stage, SRH were struggling for rhythm. When Mayank got out, the hosts needed 99 off 69 balls. Tripathi who was struggling for rhythm suddenly found a way out. He took on the spinners and didn't let them settle. The pressure was transferred back to PBKS and they couldn't cope with the onslaught. The asking rate was brought well under control because of the audacity of Tripathi. Markram played the second fiddle to him and flourished as he got his eye in. SRH have bounced back brilliantly after starting their campaign with two losses

Mayank Markande: Very happy to get an opportunity. My role is to take wickets in the middle overs. I bowled slowly and fortunately got the wickets. With the impact rule, you should always be prepared. The talks with Adil Rashid has helped me. During the red-ball season, I worked hard with Aavishkar Salvi. I rate this performance very high, happy to contribute.

Not to take away anything from Shikhar's 99* but I feel like Markande will be MoM today

Taking 4 wkts and with an eco of 3.75 on a batting pitch is amazing

He and Jansen practically broke the back of the Punjab batting lineup
