Rajat Patidar ponders RCB defeat, praises Devdutt PadikkalThe New Zealand batsman hit 10 sixes and five boundaries during his knock after entering the game with 110 runs from six matches this season.After the game, Green praised Allen’s innings, saying, “So special. I think you only get a chance to be on the other end a few times in your career, so this is one of them.”Allen and Green shared an unbeatable partnership as KKR completed the chase comfortably. Asked about the interview with Allen in the middle, Green said, “Nothing really. I mean, Finn, all he said was ‘see you next time.’ So yeah, that’s basically what I was trying to do. I was just on the other end playing second fiddle.”Green also revealed that he calculated the chase carefully as Allen approached his century. With Allen batting on 94 and KKR close to victory, Green ensured his partner continued to strike.“I think I did the math when we were 29. So yeah, I knew I’d be the most hated man in Calcutta if I did anything other than that,” Green said.Asked who was doing the math, Green said, “No, we didn’t. I did it, I did the math. But no, Finn is also very good at math, so I’ll give him credit. So he was probably doing the same thing. Winning, that was the biggest satisfaction.”Earlier, Delhi Capitals were restricted to 142/8 on a slow pitch despite a good start from Pathum Nissanko (50) and KL Rahul (23) who added 49 runs in the first five overs.Allen also had an unfortunate moment during the chase when his shot bounced off Mitchell Starc’s hand and onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, running out KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane.Allen reached his fifty in 32 balls before bringing up his second half-century in just 15 deliveries. Green remained unbeaten on 33 off 27 balls as KKR sealed the win.
