Kuldeep Yadav, who bagged the player of the match award against LSG on Friday, said, “It was tough when I wasn’t fit, injured in the first game and seeing the team struggling in the middle overs. It was tough. Credit goes to Patrick for keeping up. My fitness and getting me up early were the three important wickets, I played well against Puran for the first and second wickets. I was very clear about my plans, very clear and confident for me whenever DRS call is 50/50, but when it is more 60/40 then I am one As a bowler I hear Rishabh, you obviously want to take DRS wherever possible.”
