“As a leader, I make sure the team stays relaxed and in a happy state of mind” - Punjab skipper, Shikhar Dhawan
After defeating the Kolkata franchise, the Punjab skipper Shikhar Dhawan said that it was a great feeling to start the tournament with a win. During the post-match presentation ceremony, he said: "It is a great feeling to start the tournament with a win, we'll try to take the momentum in the next game and carry that confidence ahead. According to the situation I used those bowlers, good thing we have got plenty of bowlers in the side. I knew Raza was going to be handy against the left-handers, so he gave us three quality overs. Also have experienced bowlers like Sam Curran and Arshdeep in the side”.
“I wanted to be aggressive and at the same time smart. Was trying to hold one end, and if I got out, someone else would do that. They are youngsters and they are learning. We all are living our dream and we should be happy about it. As a leader, I make sure the team stays relaxed and in a happy state of mind," Dhawan concluded. Speaking of the match, Punjab batted first and scored 191 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Kolkata scored 146 runs for seven wickets in 16 overs. Then, the rain came, and due to the DRS, the target got reduced to 154 in 16 overs. Hence, Kolkata lost the match by seven runs and Arshdeep Singh won the player of the match award for picking up three wickets for 19 runs.
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral video:
