“Conditions weren’t that easy, Samad Fallah and Rohit Talreja were really bowling tight which made it difficult to score runs. As we all know the weather is burning out and humid which made things more difficult. Mine and Yogesh Takwale’s partnership at that moment was crucial as we had kept a small target, plus the 150 run stand with Naushad helped us change the game”
When asked about what he thought when he entered the crease Shubham said–
“My plan was to play 100 balls atleast which I am capable to manage 70 odd runs for myself. That sort of approach helped me build the innings. Also our bowlers really did a great job by bowling at good corridor consistently which helped us to defend”
