Today’s wicket was a sporting one; good for batting as well as bowling. I enjoyed playing here and I am happy that I could contribute with both; bat and ball for my team. When I came in to batting, we were under a bit of pressure. However we decided to take it one over at a time and slowly and steadily go about chasing the target. In the end, our strategy worked and we won the match comfortably”.
