" We playing at the IPL level and not playing club cricket. The umpire's should have had their eyes open. That is a ridiculous call. If it is a game of margins, I dont know what is happening. They should have been more sharp and careful out there. When they were 145 for 7, we should have done better. A few more strikes apart from AB could have done the job for us. We need to be smarter at death bowling. Sure they guys will take a lot of learnings from the game."
As it turns out, the last ball was a no ball and the umpire missed it.
