With the heat of the Indian Premier League catching up the players are all set to fight it out on the fields. As Kings Eleven Punjab and Deccan Chargers are scheduled to battle it out today (May 23), TIMES NOW caught up with Shahid Afridi and Mahela Jayawardene to find out their reaction about the IPL and their plans for the forthcoming matches.

Afreen: Mahela, that is a big game today, are you all set to give the Deccan Chargers a tough time?

Jayawardene: Yeah, I think we have been playing some good cricket. Going into the latter part of the tournament it’s important that we keep that momentum going. They are a very good side so we need to keep a open mind and make sure that we get our job done.

Afreen: Will they get the job done today Shahid?

Afridi: Everybody knows our standing and Mohali is doing very well in batting bowling and fielding. We are not doing that well.

Afreen: Are you all set to hit Afridi out of the park today and take him on when he bowls

Jayawardene: I don’t know whether i can do that. A few boundaries will make me happy rather than hitting him out of the park. It’s about playing some smart cricket. We have managed to get some crucial wins and are enjoying our game so will just keep going.

Afreen: When IPL started everybody was charged up and enthusiastic. Shahid where do you think your team is going wrong?

Afridi: Our batting, which was our strength, could not perform well and our bowling was weak from the beginning. We were not strong enough to defend 200 runs.

Afreen: Are you enjoying playing the IPL?

Afridi: Obviously, it’s very entertaining and the way the crowd is coming and responding, its very enjoyable.

Afreen: Mahela are you enjoying the IPL experience?

Jayawardene: Yeah, it’s very unique and different from what we have been experiencing in the last 10 years. It’s a good challenge to improve our skills and learn to adapt to different situations.

Afreen: Do you both want to give a message to either of the teams, Deccan Chargers or Punjab Kings XI?

Jayawardene: I think both the teams are definitely going to enjoy the outing tonight. They are not under that much pressure so we’ll make sure we don’t make mistakes and have a good game.

Afridi: Mahela, we are here to win so be careful.

    Do any of you know who that girl in the crowd was for the Kings vs Chargers match? She looked like she could be royalty or a Bollywood celebrity. She was wearing a Punjabi Kings shirt, and had a little hand-held fan…

    I believe she spoke in Hindi because she sensed that he was struggling with his English. I’d be more than happy to share my English skills with him… alas… sighhhhhhs…

    i think its rude that the host spoke in hindi (or urdu) cos mahela doesnt understand.. and afridi was able to converse in english anyway…

    what is so wrong in learning a little English bro..it’s not that hard.. just get yourself a tutor. I believe, financially that’s not a big deal for the guys like you.
