“It went off well today. It was one of those days when we got a little bit lucky. I am just happy to be on the right side of it. We lost a nailbiter here last year. Nice to come here and pay them back,\u201d said Dravid, who was also the Man of the Match for his knock of 65 runs off 51 balls.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have put in a lot of training and put in a lot of hard wotk. Scoring runs sometimes is not in your control. But I am proud of the guys. It was a mixed performance. The brilliance of Shukla, Binny on the field helped.. Teams don’t like playing us as they know we will compete and fight,” said Dravid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Delhi Daredevils skipper Mahela Jayawardene was disappointed to lose the match after having come so close. “We paced our innings well. The wicket was good, the oufield was fast and everything went well except for the last 10 balls. On the field, they did much better than us. It is one of those games in T20, you get close ones. After coming back form injury, Umesh is bowling well. It is tough to bowl in this format. We have to ensure we dont make silly mistakes,” said the captain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
