Delhi Capitals bowler Ishant Sharma: "Even in the nets when I bowl with the new ball, was practicing bowling wide yorkers. Today, think the hard work pays off. I just backed myself and bowled wide yorkers.
Coaches do that. There's a lot of time we spend in preparation, planning for certain batsmen which balls to bowl to them. It's all about backing yourself. I don't think about how many people are watching. It's all about executing those single balls every single time when you are on the field. So I was just backing myself to bowl this wide yorkers. [On facing Tewatia] I've played enough cricket with him so I was just having fun with him. I knew he was going to know what my short ball is, so I knew I had to double bluff him. Otherwise I knew he was the type of batsman who can finish the game for Gujarat. So I was double bluffing him and bowling the balls. [On defending 129] It is what it is. We don't really think about what target we have on the board. It's just about bowling your balls and executing your plans to the batsmen. From here on, we just carry the momentum and look to win one game at a time and hope for the best from the future."
