Speaking after the match, SRH captain Pat Cummins said, ” (On did he change the pitch) Maybe Travis and Abhishek did. We just let them go, they are two guys who are very positive and I’m a bowler, it is tough for me to give them any inputs. (On Travis Head) He’s been like this for 2 years, he hits the tough areas, hits the middle a lot, might not be super conventional.”
“(On Abhishek Sharma) Just an incredible player of spin and pace. With just 2 fielders out, it is really difficult for the bowlers against them. (On where the game is headed) I think the scores have gone up, and when the wickets are good, it is tough to come up with answers against batters when they get going. The boys have had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs played is unreal,” he further added.
