"We needed to bat well to chase the total. I thought everyone put their hand up. We had to make it count for the team. I needed to make use of the powerplay, I knew we had to keep attacking and take our chances," he said.
"I tried to create a partnership, had a good communication with Tilak. It was important for us to have a good partnership."
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals suffered their fourth defeat in as many matches. It was David Warner and Axar Patel who helped Delhi put up a 172 run on the board but then Delhi could not defend their total.
"You look at the last three IPL games, amazing. Wrong end of it today, but the guys were fantastic. Two balls were wrong and that's the game. We did well to bring it back in," DC skipper David Warner said.
