Sikandar Raza of Punjab Kings shared his elation after contributing to the team’s victory in the IPL match against Chennai Super Kings. He emphasized the importance of team success over individual achievements, as it is the Zimbabwean culture.

Raza also discussed the PBKS team’s strategy ahead of the final delivery, where they required three runs to win. He mentioned that the team may have considered retiring one of the batters to get in a better runner, but he was uncertain as many arms were raised in the dressing room. Ultimately, they decided to focus on running hard since they needed only one boundary to achieve a run a ball in the final over.

Sikandar Raza expressed his delight in contributing to the team’s victory over Chennai Super Kings by aggressive running. He also credited Liam Livingstone’s performance in the 16th over for turning the game in their favor. Livingstone smashed three sixes off Tushar Deshpande’s bowling, and from then on, PBKS never looked back.
