Manoj Tiwary yesterday said he has learnt from his failures and wanted to establish himself as a finisher. The Kolkata Knight Riders player said he would avoid the kind of errors he made at crucial junctures against Chennai Super Kings and Kochi Tuskers Kerala when his team takes on Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground today. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/apr/tiwarykkr.jpg" border="5" /> Right: KKR's Manoj Tiwary plays a shot during the IPL match against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens on April 17. PIC/AFP "I felt bad that twice I couldn't finish off matches. But I have learnt from my mistakes and would like to rectify that in coming matches," he was quoted as saying by PTI. Kolkata lost by two runs while replying to Chennai's competitive total of 153 in the season opener and to Kochi by six runs while chasing a modest target of 133. Against Chennai, Tiwary (27) fell in the penultimate over with the team needing seven runs; and against Kochi, he top scored with 46 but failed to finish it off. "My mistake (against Chennai) was that I didn't have a look at the number of deliveries left and went for a big hit. Against Kochi, I tried to reach to the pitch of the ball a bit early. It does hurt when you fail to finish off games." Tiwary was all praise for the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. "Gautam is an innovative captain. He comes up with lot of ideas and makes it a point to discuss it with the players. He tries to understand each and every player's game and gives them a lot of space," he said.
