Nitish Rana- "Knock out game is very important as we don't get the second chance. We got tough wickets in the league stages and I knew that this pitch will be good in the later half of the game. I knew that I had to play long innings and if I play the entire overs we will go home and that happened.
When I came to UP, I wanted to do big and my journey with UP has been very fascinating till now.
Playing in the IPL for 8-9 years, I learnt how to take this type of matches out and I just executed my learnings today.
Our fast bowlers were brilliant, all four of them were top-notch today."

18.1 A Nagwaswalla to D Jurel
WD Umpire raises his finger!! Short ball going down the leg side. Jurel goes for the pull and misses. Keeper appeals for a caught behind and umpire gives it as out. Jurel reviews straightaway! Fair delivery and the replay is showing flat line as the ball passes the bat. So, it is a not out.
Right, 11 runs are needed off 12 balls. This game is getting interesting.
