Speaking on the post-match presentation, he revealed that he had been told he would bat at No. 4 and had received strong backing from the coaching staff. He said (as quoted by ESPNcricinfo):
“During practice sessions and matches, I used to be told I’ll bat at 4 and was given quite a lot of support by the coaches. Playing at home, the conditions and that helped as my state league takes place here. I desired to be positive within the powerplay but two wickets fell and the situation modified, Stubbs said respect the conditions.”
“Once we were set, we knew we could play our natural game. It’s not that I began hitting after attending to fifty. I desired to tackle bad balls, if I got it I’d hit it to the boundary.”
