“I didn’t expect that I’d reach there at the end of the game, but I was playing according to the situation, still keeping positive, and I hope you were happy with my strike rate as you tweeted something. Very happy with your strike rate, but that was a different game and situation. I am glad we are having this conversation.”

Punjab scored a respectable total thanks to a good knock, but it was not enough.

Speaking of the game, SRH recorded their first victory of the year, while PBKS suffered their first. And the first loss while Dhawan was captain.
