Riding on the brilliant performances of David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and Kane Williamson, the team was able to put a target score of 162 runs. Later, the heroics of Rashid Khan with the ball, helped his team defend the target.
Rashid Khan picked the big wickets of Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant and won the Man of the Match award for his incredible performance.
Meanwhile, after winning the Man of the Match, Rashid Khan talked about how he prepares himself to bowl in tough conditions like the ones in the match last night. He revealed:
“I don’t put pressure on myself, I just keep myself calm and composed and focus on what I can do. I just go out there and do the basics right, I bowled quicker today, when I started and bowled my first ball, I realized it. You need two-three balls to know what the right pace is. In these conditions, you need to bowl back of a length to the batsmen.”
He also got a little emotional and revealed how the last few months had been tough for him. He revealed how his mother used to be extremely happy after watching his amazing performances in the IPL. He revealed:
“Warner always backs me and tells me that you know what’s best for the team. That’s what we discuss on the field. Tough one and a half years for me, first my dad expired and it took a bit of time for me to come back. My mom was my biggest fan, especially in the IPL and when I was the man of the match, she would always talk to me through the night”
All our love to @rashidkhan_19 ??
Tough one and a half year. First lost my dad, then my mom 3-4 months ago. She was my biggest fan. This award goes to them. When I used to win an award, whole night she used to talk to me.#DCvSRH #OrangeArmy #KeepRising
