“It’s a couple of good wins. We jut want to get consistent and get really good starts. We have seven games which is a really good platform to get into top four and then top two,” said the Australian pacer, who grabbed three for 21 including two wickets in successive balls at the DY Patil stadium on Wednesday. Bollinger praised Subramaniam Badrinath for grabbing the opportunity with a 44-ball unbeaten 63 -- his second half century in three innings. “Badri has been batting fantastically. He’s really grabbed his chances up the order. I’m really happy with him, with the way he’s going about his game. He’s jut doing everything so well and sticking to his strengths. He’s doing a great job. He got another sixty tonight and he’s been a very, very vital part of our team,” the bowler said.

Appreciating the wicket at the DY Patil stadium, Bollinger said everyone would like to wrap it up and take it to their backyards.

“This wicket was very good, turned a bit but it was very consistent. Chennai was friendlier towards spin bowling, a lot slower and lower. This wicket was fantastic and you would like such wickets in your backyard,” he said.

He also lavished praise on the contribution of the bowlers. “The bowlers have been bowling very well. Ashwin is bowling really well. Everyone is adapting to conditions. They have been bowling with a lot of confidence which you need in a competition like this as even one game can change the scene,” he remarked.
