Harleen Deol reacts on retired out controversy, says ‘There is no point in…’

Harleen Deol delivered a dashing performance in the match against Mumbai Indians as she played an unbeaten knock of 64 from 39 deliveries. Her performance powered her side towards first victory of the season. The innings came in the immediate aftermath of a contrasting moment the previous day, when she was retired out against the Delhi Capitals with three overs still left in the innings.

During the post-match presentation, Harleen was questioned about being retired out and she offered a calm answer. She mentioned that she understood the rationale behind the move with batter like Tryon waiting to come in who can do power-hitting.

“Yesterday also I was batting well, but as you saw today, how Chloe can change the scenario. For me, I just took it in that way. Chloe is someone who can hit big, so probably that didn’t go our way. That is the only thing which happened,” said Harleen during the post-match presentation.

“It’s just normal preparation for me. Nothing different. I was batting well yesterday, also. There’s no point in just keeping stressing on that thing. Honestly, yesterday it gave me a lot of confidence, in fact, because the first two games didn’t go my way. But then I went on and figured out a few things, I was just trying to overhit, this wicket is not something which you know for me as a batter to just keep overhitting and just more on timing-based things,” she added.
