“I mean, of course, it’s always great to be on the winning side and of course, after that, contributing to your team. And it’s just, I had my chances today. It’s just a lucky day for me, I guess. But still, I feel the pitch, the way it was playing, I think they were, I wouldn’t say they were short 15 runs, but still, I think they would have got 15-20 runs more,” he said during the post. match conference.
On facing Jofra Archer, he said, “I mean, bowler like Jofra and Burger, if they’re bowling to you and, if you’re wanting you to, they’ll give you a normal or just boundary ball, that would be foolish from my side. So I just wanted to, create a room or probably anything just to trouble them with the length and line a bit. And that was the plan and that’s what me and Ishan wanted to do, especially with the new ball.”

And I mean, you can feel that confidence in the team when we are even chatting and just sitting at the dressing room. It’s not that old team probably. And I feel the way the bowlers are contributing, that’s very important. Once. the batters are in form or probably they’re scoring some runs, you need the bowlers to just execute their plans.”
