After the victory, he said, 'This pitch was a bit difficult, but batting for a long time was beneficial. The ball was stopping a bit, but it was the same throughout. There was not much change in it. I took my time. I played according to the ground and the conditions. I knew how to score runs on such a pitch. If I had to hit a big six, I knew which area to hit.'

KL Rahul, who plays for Karnataka in domestic cricket, said, 'While wicketkeeping, I understood in which area the shots were hit and where the batsmen lost their wickets. I also got lucky because my catch was missed. Otherwise, this is my home. It is my ground, which I know very well.'

The hero of Delhi Capitals' victory said, 'Wherever I go, I prepare according to the situation there. I practice for this in the nets. Yes, many times I get out, but this gives me an idea of which areas to play shots and where not to. I don't bat for long periods. This happens when I am either trying to understand the pitch or being out of rhythm. This mostly happens when I am changing my style according to a pitch so that I can play accordingly.
