Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) captain KL Rahul has said that he was happy after registering a stunning win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Dubai on Thursday (September 24). Rahul smashed an unbeaten 132 off 69 balls and became the first centurian of this year's Indian Premier League (IPL).
"As a leader, it's important to lead from the front. It's a complete team performance and I am really happy," Rahul said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I told Maxi (Glenn Maxwell) that I am not feeling completely in control of my batting, he said you must be joking, you are hitting really well. During the toss is the only time I feel like a captain and otherwise I balance being a player and the captain," he added.
The captain also applauded the young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who once again impressed with figures of 3-32 in his four overs spell.
"I watched the U-19 World Cup. He (Bishnoi) has a lot of fight in him. He's always ready when I throw the ball. He wants to get into the contest."
On the other hand, Mohammed Shami also said that he was happy with the bowling line-up of the team this year and that he was enjoying the responsibility of being the senior pro of the side.
"I have the responsibility to deliver with the new ball, help my bowling partners and try to hit the right areas. We also have a good batting line up and our bowling is more improved this year. It is a young unit with a good mix of experience and even skill-wise we are good," he concluded.
