Mumbai: Pace spearhead Zaheer Khan addressed the media ahead of the big Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore encounter at the CCI, Mumbai. He feels Mumbai Indians need to keep up their momentum to make DLF-IPL a really memorable one.
"We are happy to have begun well but importantly, we need to maintain the momentum. We have to focus on each game, take a small step at a time," Zaheer said on the eve of their third match against Royal Challengers Bangalore team on Saturday.
Zaheer said that it was important to keep doing the simple things well. "All teams are equally good. The format is such that on any given day any team can beat any other team. It's important to keep things simple and do them well," added Zaheer.
Zaheer was not too concerned about the spate of injuries plaguing the team. "I got injured during the last IPL and could not get fit though I tried hard. Injuries are part and parcel of the game. Just like others, I want to keep playing as I know that's the best way to maintain my rhythm," he said.
Zaheer also praised the younger players for having come good in the tournament. "I'm happy with the way the youth brigade, including Saurabh Tiwary and Ambati Rayudu, have performed. And a guy like Abhishek Nayar has not got a game yet.
"Then there's R Satish who has not got a good opportunity to show how good a finisher he is. He's another to keep an eye on," Zaheer said.
