🏏IPL 2026: PBKS vs DC, 55th Match, at Dharamsala🏏 - Page 60

Shreyas Iyer | PBKS Captain - I won't beat around the bush; I'll just say fielding and bowling again. (If he thought 210 was a good score) Absolutely, I feel that it was 30 runs more on this wicket considering how the ball was seaming and there was variable bounce. (On bowling Chahal) There was absolutely a thought in my mind, but the way ball was seaming and the way it was helping seamers, I think if we would have executed our line and length precisely, we could have been able to extract wickets, but unfortunately again, we didn't. (on how to bowl here) Still into the surface. I always say that the hard length - short of a hard length - is the best ball, especially when a new batsman is coming in. It's not easy to hit because if you keep repeating those balls, at least one ball gives a chance of mis-hitting and you can get a wicket. We've been short of planning.

DC made both CSK and RCB fans happy

It was PB against DC/RCB/CSK

David Miller: (Partnership with Axar) We were (behind). Axar has been working very hard. Tonight, it came off. That is why he has been playing for so long - dug in deep and came out with good energy. We complement each other well, so it is good. (On the finisher's role) It is a difficult thing, but just trying to stay calm. Always a long journey to get to the end, so about staying in the present. Can only control the next ball, so keep reminding myself. Just trying to clear the mind and think clearly. (On if there was extra incentive playing against Punjab) There is always incentive. It is the nature of league cricket - you go from one team to another. Nice to get the job done and the boys did really well at the back end. There was something in the wicket - every now and then, stayed a bit low. About playing good cricket shots, get into good positions. The lengths we bowled, we stuck it out really well, knowing that is a tactic they would bowl.

Shreyas Iyer, PBKS captain: (Where it went wrong) Don't have to beat around the bush, but fielding and bowling again. (On if the score was enough) Absolutely. Feel it was 30 runs more on this wicket, given how the ball was seaming and the variable bounce. (On not bowling Chahal) It was a thought but the way it was seaming, if we had executed our lines and lengths, we may have gotten wickets. But we did not. I always say that hard length or short of hard length is the best ball. Not easy to hit (for someone coming in). We fell short of planning.
