🏏 IPL 2024 ~ Match 51: Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders🏏 - Page 74

Shreyas, KKR captain: Just having a conversation with Starcy. Told him how important this game for us. If we lost this, would've had to win two out of four. Would take this anyday. Beautiful victory for us. Hope we could've cherished this one. But we have a match day after as well. Certainly, with this impact player rule, it has helped us in this game. Manish has been eyeing an opportunity from Day 1. Today he got it. We got to a commendable total. All I had to say to the boys was we can defend it with our bowling lineup. They were unreal to be honest (on the two spinners). Absolutely spot on in terms of execution with line and lengths. He's been eagerly waiting to go out and express himself in earlier games as well (on Venkatesh Iyer).

Shreyas Iyer: Absolutely, we are [knocking on the door]. Was just having a conversation with Starcy on about how important it was. I just got to know about (MI's record here) just after the match. We would have loved to cherish it but have a match to play in 2 days. Impact Player helped us in this game. Manish was eyeing an opportunity and he put up a phenomenal partnership with Venky. They (the spinners) were unbelievable. They executed our plans each and every ball. Venky is someone who can change the momentum of the game and it was a phenomenal knock.

mera position is clear. Performance based selection for team India…seniors or juniors doesn’t matter. End of story.

But Pandya is the best player to roam the Earth. So ofc that criteria can’t apply for him. So for rest I still stand by performance based selection.

Bro

Calm down

Pandya ki toh baat bhi nahi ki

Nor the other person talked about him.

We all know this team isn't basis of right now performance bcoz except Pant, Samson, Virat bcoz he has Orange Cap, none would be in the team.

that means ipl is bigger n greater than wc

I think we can do ipl wc with our same ipl teams .

Venkatesh, POTM: As a professional cricketer, I have to be flexible in terms of situation. When I started hitting the ball well, two more wickets fell and I thought I have to play the anchor role. This is the fourth or fifth time Manish has padded up. This time he got to bat. Rather than sending Russell and Ramandeep higher, better to have Manish who can play the anchor role. Ball was holding and it was a two paced wicket. I try to be a smarter cricketer. Would've been easy for me to go after Piyush Chawla and the fast bowlers. Team needed me to be there till the end. I've been a huge fan of dada. Went to ask him about my stance and technical aspects. Was a fruitful conversation. It's coming through in my stance and other aspects in the nets.

He always strikes in MI game.. Even in last tym MI won the game bt he took POTM😄

Venkatesh Iyer is the Player of the Match: As a professional cricketer, I have to be flexible. When I was hitting the ball well, two more wickets fell and I felt I needed to play the anchor role. It was the fourth or fifth time Manish had padded up and this time he got to bat! It worked for us with the Impact Player. Better to have Manish than Russell or Ramandeep Singh in a situation which they don't usually bat in. He was the one guiding me about match-ups. I try to be a smart cricketer. It was easier to hit against Chawla and pacers for me. The team needed me to stay till the end. I had a conversation with Dada -- I am a huge fan of him -- about my stance and it's slowly coming off now.

seems like it’s about hp is captain of mi n rs not

did u see rs wc press conference ? Wats ur opinion on this

I have made my position clear. Totally bakwaas selection and reasons given for Team India WC. We may still win WC - who knows. I would be glad to be proved wrong in this … 🤣🤣

However, genius of HP will ensure India win. So I am no longer worried.

Congratulations Toppers 💜
