Kolkata’s Jayarath has stopped near Chennai. Kolkata lost by seven wickets at Chipok Stadium on Monday. It was their first loss of the season. However, after the loss, captain Shreyas Iyer said that the pitch had completely changed after the power play. That is why he could not score enough runs on the scoreboard.
After Chennai’s victory, Shreyas could not speak to the screams of the audience. “We played well in the power play. It started very well. But we lost wickets one after the other in the later stages. We didn’t understand the nature of the pitch well after the power play. It became very difficult to score runs. Chennai is such an environment,” said Konya. They know better. They have told their plan.”
Shreyas admitted that their batters failed on the hard pitch. Said, “It wasn’t easy to play big shots from the first ball. We wanted to build the innings slowly. We couldn’t execute that plan properly. After the powerplay, the character of the wicket changed so much that we couldn’t catch it. At one point it would be 160-170 runs. It seemed so. But when you lose the rhythm, everything goes awry.”
