Quotes
Matt Duffy
New Zealand cricketer and seamer
“The whole experience was a bit of weird one but I am cool, man. I have been a fan of the IPL from a distance. You see all the glam, and to be a part of such a historic brand like RCB, with some of the best ones in the world, get to back up Josh Hazlewood, who is among top three bowler across formats. It is going to be special. The whole thing will be a special moment.”

“It is a very, very small place in Southern New Zealand and I had since moved to the big city (Otago) for my cricket. Very special to come from that place. I come from the very bottom of New Zealand and weather is not nice down there and it is difficult to get grass wickets down there so people are very proud. They love their rugby and cricket.”
