I was supposed to come  at No 7. But Viru wanted a left hander and I joined him after Finch got  out.\u00a0 I am quite pleased about the (three) sixes that I hit. It was  important at that moment as when are chasing nine runs an over, you need  a big over and that was a big over for us,\u201d said Irfan, saying that  playing against brother Yusuf as rival was something he didn\u2019t like. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis  was a game I never wanted to play. Hitting Yusuf for four wasn\u2019t  pleasant. But then I wanted to win for the team and I am happy about  that,\u201d said the younger brother, stating that he flawless innings was  facilitated by pace of the fast bowlers and good timing that he managed  to hit the ball with today.<\/p>\n<p>Skipper Virender Sehwag too was in  all praise for Irfan and was also happy with the way his bowlers bowled  today. \u201cIt was a good win. All the boys really did well. Bowlers were  outstanding, especially Mornie (Morkel). Fielding too was outstanding  and it is a result of\u00a0 hard work that we have put in on the field,\u201d said  Sehwag.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir gave the credit of  the win to Mornie Morkel and Irfan Pathan. \u201cMornie bowled quality balls  to Jacques Kallis and Manoj Tiwary. Despite all top order not coming out  good, we posted a defending total of 96. But later Irfan took the game  away from us,\u201d said Gambhir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/cricket\/irfan_ipl.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"I will keep trying to contribute to my team's win: Pathan\" style=\"float: left;
