"I had the same plan as we always to do. That was to bowl hard lengths. We could have gone for yorkers, but it all depends on what is working on the day. It was nice to be bowling out there with you again," Rabada told teammate Anrich Nortje in a video posted on iplt20.com.

"I generally do not think about wickets, I just focus on what is going to work. Wickets are just a byproduct," he added.

"Yeah, it was good. Really enjoyed being out there with the boys once again. It has been a long time, to be out there in Dubai where we started a year ago, was really nice," Nortje told Rabada.

In the match against SRH, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje took five wickets between themselves as SunRisers was restricted to 134/9 in the allotted twenty overs.
