PKL 2018 | We were clinical in all aspects of the game in this match, says Ram Mehar Singh
Patna Piratesâ coach Ram Mehar Singh has said that they made sure not to concede silly points in the match and thus were able to put in a clinical performance. Patna Pirates were able to salvage a win against Bengal Warriors, after four consecutive losses, in their final home leg match this season.
Patna Pirates finally managed to win a game much to the pleasure of their home fans. It was the final home leg encounter for Patna Pirates and they won the match 29-27 against the Bengal Warriors. At the post-match press
âWe havenât been able to finish games off but today we did. Last few games, we have been conceding unnecessary points. Today we made sure not to concede unnecessary points and we were clinical in all aspects. I am proud of the team especially since we were missing Pardeep
The coach also asserted that this was not the full potential of his team. Had they played to their potential the match would not have come this close.
âHad we been perfect, the game wouldnât have been this close. Though our defenders got points, Jaideep didnât have the support he required. We have talented defenders on our bench as well and when they have to come on and get points, it means that your starting defenders arenât performing well. The substitutes really did well though,â he said.
With this win, the Pirates now top the table in their zone but their points have come
âManinder Singh and I both didnât play any part in the game today. Itâs never a good feeling to sit out a game especially when youâre the main raider and the team depends on you for points. We won nevertheless so Iâm happy. We might have won since Iâm not playing though I hope that isnât the case. I wanted to play today as well but the coach and team management felt I should be resting so as to not aggravate my injury. A wounded lion is always more dangerous, and I was a wounded lion today,â Pardeep Narwal said.
The opposition Bengal Warriorsâ coach Jagdish Kumble was a disappointed man as he rued the silly errors made by his team.
âIt was a very close match. We were unlucky with a couple of points but also conceded a few unnecessary points else we would have comfortably won the match. We shouldnât have gone in for the tackle towards the end, it was one of our key raiders who attempted it,â Kumble said.
