Speaking at the post-match conference, the 37-year-old said:“Feels bad, of course not feeling great, we lost the match. I feel we don’t have a good off-spinner, that's where we are leaking a bit of runs when left-handers come in. This wicket was offering turn as well, that's where we took the hit.”The Punjab-based franchise will next play the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, May 13.
