LSG vs RCB: Stonis headache for LSG skipper Rahul, De Kock to play if all-rounder misses out against RCB
For the uninitiated, Stonis did not return to bowl after copping a blow on his fingers, but during the post-match presentation, the all-rounder said his finger is alright, and there is nothing to worry about.
“The finger is alright. It is better now. We will get scans done. We were joking about the difference between this wicket and the one at our home. Was just trying to build partnerships. Ayush got off to a flier as well. I do like to take responsibility of batting in the middle order and finishing it off. I have batted everywhere in my career. I was swinging a few in the nets. So, they got excited and gave me the new ball. No one loves to bowl on a flat one. The home wicket suits me more as my change of pace helps me there”, he said.
