Success on his plan: Shreyas Iyer
After the match, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer said that we are getting experience of all kinds of circumstances. In this match too, we remained on our strategy. We were running according to our plan. Marco (Yansen) was able to achieve bounce. The rest of the bowlers supported him. We did not know about the pitch how it would behave. Our bowlers molded themselves according to the circumstances.
Shreyas praised three players
Shreyas Iyer said about Nehal Vadhera, who played the best innings in the match, that Nehal performed brilliantly today. It is good to be a batsman like him in the team. I hope he will continue this form. Personally I talked to Chahal. I told him that you are a match winner and you need to give us wickets as much as possible. They have the ability to return. This is the thing that we appreciate as a leg -spinner. Perhaps he is the best bowler ever in the IPL. Arshdeep Singh also bowled his work excellent.
