Wanindu Hasaranga after his brilliant spell against KKR
I am very happy to wear this (purple) cap. These kinds of wickets are very good, straight boundaries are very small. I bowled my normal lengths today and tried to bowl dot balls and it worked well. (The wicket he enjoyed the most) Shreyas Iyer wicket. (On his couple of misfields) These things happen, dew also came in, very hard to field.

But we miss you man.
