00:00I really enjoyed, my hard work pays off, so I'm enjoying, yeah.
00:07This is the last hour of the LBW opponent team of the day.
00:13Are you standard content, are you manly in the match?
00:20Yeah, I was confident because it's part of the game if it's not a run or it's an appeal or whatever.
00:27It was not a part of my batting, so I was very normal that if he will take a single, I will hit a six.
00:33So I was really confident about my ability.
00:35When you are going to batting, the crucial situation, what do you think in your mind?
00:41Just follow the basics and believe in my ability.
00:45So you are playing, wickets keep on going up, so what do you think?
00:52I was just following the process that I just want to go as much as later,
01:00so I will hit in the last, in slog overs and batting till the 20th over.
01:06How big of an improvement was the last season for you?
01:12Because last season also you had many close matches and your partnerships with Shashank Singh was obviously great.
01:19Now coming to how was he carrying forward this season for you?
01:25You had Kevin Pedersen as your Delhi captain, so did you have a chance to speak with him?
01:33Was he of any influence on you?
01:35I just want to say that last year was really good but it becomes a history for me.
01:40So I take the good things and positive things from the last season
01:45and this year I applied myself, whatever the mistake I had done last year.
01:49So I am not doing the mistakes this year, I am applying what I did in domestic cricket.
02:05If KP is in our dressing room, so it's good for us that the legend is in the dressing room
02:12and we got a chance to share the dressing room with him.
02:15So I always talk to him about batting, what he did in his time, so enjoying with him.
02:22What did he say after you were speaking with him?
02:26He was telling me it's too easy.
02:29Sir, Vizag is your second home ground, so you started this season with winning the match.
02:38So how it will give you confidence?
02:41I played this year Syed Mushtaq Ali also in Vizag, so I know the wicket,
02:46what the wicket plays in second inning, first inning.
02:50So I know the situation, what it will become. So yeah, Vizag is good for me.
02:55The support, the way you batted, the way you support the audience is also fantastic.
03:01People are also enjoying it. So how do you feel?
03:04I just want to thank the fans of TC and Vizag.
03:08And yeah, it's the beginning of the tournament.
03:12Just support us and let's see, we will do good in coming season.
03:18So the number is 52 balls, 128 scored.
03:22So what was the plan you executed on that?
03:24Just we were focusing on the process only. That's it.
03:30You had two good partnerships with Tristan Stubbs and Rudra Zingal.
03:35So did you at any point in the match feel like the match was slipping away from you?
03:40No, I told you before also that I just believe in my ability while batting.
03:44I never think about what's going on. I was always in present and I just applied.
03:51So whatever may be the target, whatever may be the situation, you back yourself to chase it.
03:56Yes, that's it. Thank you.
