Vijay Shankar happy to perform in ‘do-or-die’ game

TIL Desk Sports/ After guiding Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a win over Rajasthan Royals, Vijay Shankar said that he saw the game with a ‘do or die’ attitude and is happy to have delivered a good performance in the match. SRH defeated Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai on Thursday.

Shankar gave away just 15 runs from his three overs while picking up one wicket. He then played an unbeaten knock of 52 runs to help the team chase down the target of 155. Manish Pandey also played a brilliant knock of 83 runs, taking SRH over the line in the 19th over.

“We both knew that we had to stay in the middle to take the game deep and if you ask me personally, it was a do or die game for me. That is how I saw this game, I did not have the best of time with the bat and this was a do or die game for me. I had to perform. Really happy to go out and play such an innings for the team,” Pandey said in the post-match press conference.
