The team has the confidence to win under any circumstances: Krunal

Lucknow Supergiants captain Krunal Pandya, who beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by one run in a thrilling match to seal a place in the Indian Premier League playoffs, said that his team is confident of winning under any circumstances. Batting first, Lucknow Supergiants, after posting 176 for eight, restricted KKR to 175 for seven despite Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 33-ball 67.

At the post-match award ceremony, Krunal said, “I am very happy with this win. We never gave up. At one stage they were in a good position with 61 runs for one wicket but we knew that two-three tough overs could change the course of the match. This pitch was helping the spinners.” Asked about Rinku Singh’s aggressive innings, he said, “Rinku has been a special player this season. You cannot take them lightly. He is a very special batsman. We were thinking one ball at a time in the last over.

Mohsin Khan gave Lucknow a memorable victory in the last over in the last match but Krunal relied on Yash Thakur this time. When asked about this, he said, “Mohsin bowled very well in the last match. I followed my inner voice and instead of Mohsin, Yash had the ball. Yash bowled well in his first two overs.
