Welcome back.
Rahul Chahar: The pitch is holding a bit, especially when there was no dew. The speed at which I bowl, I was backing myself to turn it at pace and make it difficult to hit me. I backed myself and knew if I bowled my best ball, they won’t be able to hit. (On plans to Dhoni) I didn’t want to bowl it fuller to him, he hits it well if you push it fuller. I think we conceded about 8-10 runs more than what we started with, but this is still a good target to chase down. We need to play good cricketing shots. I think this, and my performance in the 2019 final are amongst my best spells in the IPL. Both came at the same venue.
