"I've enjoyed batting at three. It's important that if the openers have given a good start, then continuing that. Or whatever the situation demands I'm trying to learn from that. Bumrah's a great bowler. Was just looking to react to whatever he's bowling. Depends on how the wicket is playing, how I can counterattack at that point. If it's there and I can take it on, I will definitely go for the shot. If it's not there then I'll just look to take those singles-doubles," said Tripathi in a post-match presentation. "To win games is more important, happy I could do that today. Sometimes when a bowler is bowling well, how to score those runs. In T20 there cannot be a moment where you can slow down. Every ball is an event so I just think what could be the best result. When you play it's obviously your dream to represent your country," he added.  KKR vs LSG, IPL 2022 Live Cricket Streaming: Watch Free Telecast of Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants on Star Sports and Disney+ Hotstar Online.
