Crediting his bowlers for the comprehensive five-wicket win over Delhi Daredevils,Kings XI Punjab skipper Adam Gilchrist said his team has put itself in the right direction starting the four-match away journey with a victory.
8220;Now,we have got now three of the most fancied team in the competition in KKR,Mumbai and Chennai in a row. It8217;s a nice way to start this trip. We have made a step in the right direction,8221; Gilchrist said at the post-match press conference last night.
The former Australian wicketkeeper said his bowlers did a fine job by restricting the Daredevils to a modest 120 after choosing to bowl.
8220;It was terrific to get another win. The way Harmeet Singh came on and implemented his skills was terrific. To
restrict them to 120 was a great effort. Back-to-back wins build a good spirit and lift the spirit within the team,8221; he said.
Gilchrist also praised his opening partner,Mandeep Singh,who once again got the team off to a flier in a small run chase.
8220;Mandeep Singh has been fantastic for us. I have let him down by getting out first. He has been able to consolidate with whoever comes in,8221; the 41-year-old added.
Harmeet,who was awarded the man-of-the-match for taking three wickets,said his quick adjustment to the wicket helped him perform better.
8220;I was a double-paced wicket as some balls were going through and some stopping on batsmen. It was important to read the wicket quickly and adjust your variations,8221; the medium pacer said.
