Excerpts: Bhuvneshwar Kumar: First of all, Nabi tell us how was your debut game? How did it feel to play your first game in the IPL? And run us through your emotions after being hit for a six but coming back with a wicket. Mohammad Nabi: I was a bit under pressure playing my first game. Obviously playing in one the biggest stages is bound to put you under pressure. I am glad I got a chance to bat and bowl in my very first game. My first over was forgettable though, being hit for a six. I just wanted to bowl wicket to wicket and make sure that I tie down the runs. But I am glad I could comeback and pick a crucial wicket for the team. I hope to better my performance if I get a chance in the coming games. Kumar: Rashid, you were impressive too. Ending up with two wickets after being hit for runs. How did you feel bowling out there? Rashid Khan: I did get under the pump once I went for runs but I had self-belief that I will comeback stronger in the next few overs. I know I have been hit for runs on deliveries that I bowled too loose. I wanted to bowl to the wicket and according to the plan. It did go haywire but I will try to better my performance in the next game. Kumar: But, you have been taking wickets consistently for us, is there any specific preparations you do before you run in to bowl? Rashid: Every time I come to bowl, I try to outthink the batsman. If I feel that the batsman is expecting a leg-break, I bowl a googly and try to outfox them. I think that is the reason I have been getting wickets. Dot balls are very important in T20s and help you get wickets. I try to curb the runs, get dots and then go for the wickets. Kumar: Nabi, your first game and it went down to the last over. How did you soak in the pressure while fielding in those last moments of the match? Nabi: My heart was racing. It was a tight contest and to add to it there were two wides in the last over which made the target even closer. Manan Vohra was brilliant and almost won it single-handedly. You were brilliant with the ball at the death and changed the face of the game in the end. Kumar: It was a satisfying performance personally and by the entire bowling unit. I did end up getting five wickets, but I won’t take credit for the win. Everyone pitched in with good performances and were instrumental in tonight’s win. In such thrilling contests, you do worry about bowling well at the death and hope for the catches to stick. We could do most of it with a few minor blips. The wicket was not easy to bat on but David Warner played an outstanding innings and later Rashid pitched in with a six in the last over which was almost like game-changing for us. The penultimate over pressure Kumar: There wasn’t much pressure on me because I have bowled under such situations in the past. I was mentally prepared to bowl the second last over and I had a clear plan when I ran to bowl. Vohra almost took the game away from us but I knew what I had to do while bowling to him. It worked off well and thankfully we ended up with a win. Sunrisers are known for their bowling strength and defending low totals. Tonight was just an example of the same and it was a complete team effort. Courtsey- IPL media.
