IPL 2019: KXIP Head Coach appreciates Shikhar Dhawan & Shreyas Iyer
Apr 21, 2019
New Delhi, Apr 21 (ANI): Delhi Capitals defeated Kings XI Punjab by five wickets in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in New Delhi. Post match, KXIP Head Coach Mike Hesson addressed mediapersons about runs scored, Chris Gayle and others. Hesson said, “It was good score when the bowl was hoarding to the wicket. I think the fact we looked to it really because we knew it getting harder as the bowl get older. And, to finish, we did 163 and it was a decent score. We didn’t get the wickets we’re hoping for. Shikhar (Dhawan) and Shreyas (Iyer) played low-risk crickets and they played well. I think Chris is very unique. With the power of Chris Gayle, you always back him to clear ground. He is the one who can take away from the opposition. Obviously, we kept losing wickets which made it difficult for him to push on.”
