Rashid Khan’s bowling, which was ideal given the nature of the Abu Dhabi pitch, earned him the Man of the Match award in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 15-run win over Delhi Capitals on Tuesday.

The leg-spinner’s focus was on getting his basics right. “I don’t take pressure on myself that I have to make an impact. I stay calm and cool and focused on what I have to do.

“I just look to get the basics right. The captain always backs me and tells me, ‘You know better, so let me know what you want’,” Rashid said at the post-match presentation.

He dedicated his award to his parents, whom he lost in the past one-and-a-half years.
