Punjab Kings skipper is pleased that his side displayed the right mindset after being put under the pump by aggressive Rajasthan Royals top-order batters as the visitors survived the carnage to put one foot in the IPL play-offs on Sunday.

Punjab Kings posted 219 for five but that challenging total looked under threat when Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi rattled up 76 runs in just 4.5 overs for RR.

Harpreet Brar provided the breakthrough by removing both the openers to open up the opportunity for Punjab Kings.

"The guys were in high spirits. We showed the mindset that we wanted to win irrespective of the situation. The body language tends to drop when opposition plays well. Brar is consistent in the nets. Today he stepped in and delivered. His mindset has been tremendous throughout. Absolutely brilliant approach and attitude," gushed Iyer.

Meanwhile, RR skipper Sanju Samson rued that they could not carry on the momentum from the powerplay.

"It was gettable with the kind of wicket and outfield. With our batting line-up and power-hitters, we thought it was chaseable. We just have to get the job done and finish off the innings," he said.

"We have experienced guys, we are trying our best but things are not falling our way. We can't try much. First priority is to win the game. Try a few options keeping next year in mind," he added.
