Deven shared with Cricketgraph “ It was great to score a century and contribute to the team victory. The wicket was a good one and I wanted to score big for the team. Really enjoyed the knock. Also, I would like to thank the committee of the PPL for organising such a fantastic tournament in these times and giving us an opportunity to express ourselves.
