On Ashish Narwal’s unsuccessful raid

Telugu Titans head coach Krishan Hooda expressed his disappointment over Ashish Narwal’s unsuccessful raid in the tie-breaker and said. “We lost the match because of Ashish Narwal. He got caught in the first raid of the tie-breaker, and then we came in pressure. From now on, we will not give Ashish Narwal any more chances.”

Manjeet’s role in the team

Bengal Warriorz head coach also explained Manjeet’s role in the team and said, “Manjeet is playing the role of all-rounder in our team. He is playing in multiple positions and can also make ankle holds. So he is a big help in setting up our defence.”

“With his arrival, the morale of the defence has increased, and the unit performs well. We have the advantage that if any position gives away points or gets us out, then Manjeet is handling that position very well,” he added.

Thoughts on the match against Patna Pirates

Devank opened up and spoke about his former side, Patna Pirates, ahead of their next match and said, “Ayan is also doing very well, and the team is also good. So we will make a strategy accordingly. We will not take anyone lightly. If we stop Ayan, then we will win the match.”

“If he doesn’t stop, it will be a bit difficult, and the same is for Ankit. If Ankit stays out of the court for a long time, it will be easier to win the match,” he added.
