Player of the Match
Shivam Dube | India
It was really cold. I enjoyed playing on this ground. Playing after a long time and batting at number four, there was some pressure on me. I had one thing in my mind that I had to play my game.
First 2-3 balls, I feel a bit of pressure, after that, I just focus on the ball and I don’t think much about what’s going on.
In T20s, I know what I bat, and I know I can hit big sixes, so I can generate runs any time. Bowling, today I got the opportunity and I executed what I needed.
