GT vs SRH highlights IPL 2023: Post Match statements

Aiden Markram after losing the match:

Still believed at half time that we had a chance, but losing four wickets in powerplay didn’t help. We were slightly off. We’ve got bowlers who can swing the ball. But you have to give credit to the way Shubman batted. Credit has to go to Bhuvi for showing how it’s done. Klassen is a great player. Very happy for him. Klaasen is a great player with class, power and a good cricketing brain. Unfortunately, we haven’t helped him and that’s why we have ended up on the losing side despite him batting extremely well. We haven’t been at our best.

Hardik Pandya after winning the match:

Very proud of the boys. This year we knew there will be challenges, but the way they have played, we have rightly earned our place in the playoffs. I spoke with the boys about expectations and it was important to focus within the group. We made errors but we were more consistent. People focused on the right thing and that is the reason for our decent performance. Bowlers are very close to my heart, sometimes batter takes credit but I will always be a bowler’s captain and make sure they get the due credit.
