 "There is always pressure when you play in the first six overs. You have to take chances and you have to make sure that you don't get out also. First six overs are always the most difficult overs to bat," the 32-year-old southpaw said.

Parthiv Patel seemed to be unperturbed with the defeat they encountered against SRH, as they have got their place fixed in the playoff."Obviously, it was never a 180-190 wicket. We knew that around 160 would be a defendable total on this wicket. We got around 140 and took the game to the penultimate over. They tried to finish it off earlier but were unable to," he said.
