Rashid told IPL following the win, "The feeling is good. You have it in mind to go out there, have the self-belief, keep my shape strong, and hit it. I was happy to do it against them [former team SRH], but I was trying to play my game and believe in my batting, which I've been working on the last two years."

Speaking on the plans between him and Tweatia, Rashid recalled, "When it was 22 left, I just told Tewatia that we had given 25 in the last over with our best bowler [Lockie Ferguson]. We have to have that belief in ourselves. If we have one missed ball, don't think about it and don't panic."

"Stay strong, and we need to finish it or get as close as possible because it might help us with the run rate. But, as long as we have that belief, anything is possible. Just stay there, keep your shape and hit it strong. So, that was our plan, and luckily, we had those four sixes," concluded Rashid.
