We should have defended the total against Kolkata Knight Riders, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 – Cricket News Update
Delhi Daredevils’ fast bowler, Varun Aaron, is not happy with the bowling performance of his team against Kolkata Knight Riders but expressed that the Daredevils will come back hard in the tournament.
The Daredevils are considered to be one of the hot-favourites of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and are currently number two in the points table with 16 points after 11 matches.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 and company were beaten on Monday by the Knight Riders at Delhi. The home team batted first and posted 153 runs on the board for the loss of nine wickets. The visitors chased down the total with eight balls to spare after losing
just four wickets.
Most cricket analysts believe that Delhi should have scored more runs on such a flat track but Aaron is of the opinion that the bowlers should still have defended that total. The fast bowler said that his team gave away too many extras and loose deliveries
to the Knight Riders.
The fast bowler is optimistic that his team will deliver the goods in the upcoming fixtures of the on-going tournament.
“I don’t think it was bad total. If we would have saved a few extras, it would have been a closer [contest]. We have been doing well; we will come back harder in the next game,” Aaron said.
The right-arm bowler feels that the pitch at Delhi was ideal for cricket as it was supportive for everyone.
He expressed, “It helped both the batsman and the bowlers, and the ball came on to the bat well. It is just that it was one of those off days.”
Aaron has returned to competitive cricket after a number of months, as he was nursing a back injury. The fast bowler praised the team management of Delhi for supporting him during the tough times.
“I just watch and learn; pick-up whatever I can. And more so, TA Sekar and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eric-Owen-Simons-c56137 help a lot in nets. So yes, I take a lot from them,” the Indian international added.
