Chasing a competitive target of 185, Mohali Kings got off to a disastrous start, losing two wickets with just four runs on the board. But skipper Ramandeep and Anmolpreet Singh (49 off 28 balls) revived the chase with a crucial 52-run stand for the third wicket before Ramandeep took control to take his side over the line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur dressing room is very calm; as we all know, not every match can be won. I think responsibility helps me to grow, and I try to finish the game on my own,\u201d Ramandeep said after the match ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite securing a spot in the semifinals, Ramandeep cautioned his side against complacency as the group stage draws to a close. \u201cMy message for the team is we have two matches left, and we must keep our heads down and keep on working,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Bathinda Royals staged a solid recovery after being reduced to 17\/2. Harnoor Singh (43 off 36 balls) and Gourav Choudhary (35 off 22 deliveries) put on a 74-run partnership for the third wicket, before late flourishes from Ridham Satyawan (31 off 19 balls) and Shahbaz Sandhu (38 not out off 23 deliveries) propelled them to 184\/6 in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cAs soon as the tournament started, we counselled senior players about taking responsibility, so that was the plan today also that even if wickets were down, we will not lose patience and take the game till the end,\u201d Harvinder noted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cTo youngsters, I say that trust your strength. I say control the controllables. In T20 cricket, it is all about momentum. These are some mental skills you use. Now the games are a knockout, so we want to give 110 percent in the next matches to win the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
