We believed it as a team and as a bowling unit because we had performed exceptionally well throughout the tournament. We still need to improve our batting, Kuldeep said at a press conference on Monday.
The Delhi bowlers did not dismiss the entire Hyderabad batting unit, but they did limit them to 137/6. We didn’t get a wicket in the pack, but we bowled really well for 20 overs. We kept the pressure on them by refusing to set simple boundaries.
I thought we bowled really well in the powerplay, giving up 35-36 runs. After that, myself and Axar just kept us in the game in the middle phase, and Nortje and Mukesh bowled exceptionally well in the last four overs, Kuldeep said.
SRH needed 13 runs to win in the final over, but only managed to score 6. Kuldeep was pleased with Mukesh Kumar’s courage in the face of death. He also bowled well in the previous game. He is in his first IPL season and is improving every day. Bowling in the death overs is never easy, Kuldeep said.

Wicket was slow, and he assumed chasing would be difficult. He had faith in our bowling team. He gave freedom to everyone, he claimed.
