Manoj Tiwary takes blame for botched run chase
"Today it was gripping but going back to the last game, we didn't see any kind of spin here, it was a drastic change" - Tiwary

Rising Pune Supergiant batsman Manoj Tiwary took the blame upon himself for not carrying his side past the finishing line against Delhi Daredevils on Friday (May 12). Tiwary hit a 45-ball 60 when Supergiant was in pursuit of 169 in Delhi but in the end, he saw his side lose by a narrow margin of seven runs. At one stage, Supergiant needed 52 from the final five overs with seven wickets in hand and were clearly the favourites heading into the final phase of the game but with the boundaries getting dried up, the pressure kept mounting on the visitors, which eventually led to their downfall.
"I want to take the complete blame for that because I was the batsman who was set over there," Tiwary said after the game. "And prior to the last over we couldn't get any boundaries at that point of time and I was the man who was on strike and was not able to connect. Obviously, the match was in our hands at one point of time, that's the way it happens at times."
A win on Friday would have guaranteed a spot in the playoffs for Supergiant but now their final league game could become a knockout match if Sunrisers Hyderabad manage to beat Gujarat Lions on Saturday. "We tried our best but we have to go back now and see what went wrong and how the batsmen could have scored more runs, find out what kind of strokes we could have played at that situation and come back harder in the next game," Tiwary said. "It's going to be a pressure game because both the teams want to win and let's see who comes best in that game."
