🏏IPL 2023: Match 22 - KKR vs MI on 16/04/2023 at 3:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 53

Venkatesh Iyer (Player of the Match): Would have been happier if we would've finished on the winning side but happy with my performance. They've shown faith in me and it was a very beautiful wicket to bat on. Once you've scored those 30-40 runs, it's just about how you continue. Both of their new ball bowlers were swing bowlers and when you allow swing bowlers to settle down, it can be a problem. So I used my feet, went deep in the crease. After the ball stops swinging it's about how you manoeuvre. I keep getting hit in every game (laughs).

The thought about going out came but my coach and players urged me to keep going. I think we fell 15-20 runs short. But given how MI were going, they would've chased it down in the next over anyways. But their death bowling was very nice. If we look at their last three-four overs, they didn't give away too many runs. Credit to them.

Best Non CSK game for me today :)

KKR got absolutely thrashed and that too by My Fav Kishan. Also this game should cut the hype down of Rinku :) He was one of the reason KKR LOST.

Venky should be MoM today. That century was brilliant 🥺

No one from MI's team performed exceptionally... they worked as a whole, like a well-oiled machine

But Venky as a player was exceptional 🥺 he deserves the MoM ❤️

He did got Motm. Well deserved

Mumbai Indians captain on the day, Suryakumar Yadav comes out to speak: "We had a chat in the dugout that we had to carry the momentum from the last game and the boys put on a show. I would have loved to finish the game but nevertheless, I was very happy with the way the team played. In the afternoon we thought the wicket was a little dry, but the way the guys batted it settled down in the evening. At the Wankhede in day games, 160-170 is a good score but Kishan got us off to a great start. I took my time in the first five-seven balls and thought if I could get my eye in I could get a score. We know that if the top order gives a good start, what kind of firepower we have lower down the order. It was a legendary spell [Piyush Chawla]. He put his hand up under pressure."
