RCB chased down the target of 170 in a high-octane clash. Dinesh Karthik who was adjudged as the ‘Player of the Match; in the post-match presentation said: “I think I made a conscious effort this year to do justice to myself because the last year, I felt I could have done better. The way I trained was much better this time around. Credit to the person who trained with me. I’m making a conscious effort to tell myself that I’m not done yet.”
“When I went in, we needed 12 rpo and had to keep going. I train for these situations. To stay calm and know whom you can takedown. I’ve tried to play as much white-ball cricket as possible, and prepare as many scenarios as possible. A lot of people have spent time with me on this journey, leading upto the tournament and it’s the work that goes unnoticed mostly. I think T20 cricket, it’s mostly premeditating but you also need to be clear about where to target,” Karthik added while talking about the match.
