The former India bowler took 2/2 in the first over of the second innings and helped Riders win the close match by 6 runs. He dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Avishka Fernando in the space of 4 balls to put his team in front while defending 85.
Sreesanth opens up on his future:
After guiding his team to the win, he spoke positively about T10 cricket and felt playing at this age [42] is a blessing, as his family and kids get to watch him and the matches don't take toll on the body and went on to dedicate the win to his son for his birthday.
"They told me to try my slow outswing again and that it might work out, so that gave me confidence. I want to improve my fitness, and next year I will be even better. As long as T10 is around, I am around," he told ANI.
With two wickets in two appearances as Riders skipper, he has helped his team stay at number 2 in the points table, with 3 wins in 4 matches. He went on to speak about his new role and how he keeps his team in high spirits.
"A captain is a leader who pushes the team. Make your players believe in themselves. I was just making sure they do not lose belief. All formats are just about one ball at a time. I am doing nothing extra and just asking them to keep their josh [energy] high," he concluded.
Up next, his team will face Ajman Titans on Tuesday, November 25 and try to bridge the gap between them and Quetta Qavalry in the top-2.
