 "Love it here, it's an amazing crowd. I haven't been here for a long time, thanks for  hanging around. Yeah, thank you all for your support, and for hanging around. My hair can only get white from here and can't get grey. We had challenges with our batters but its good that we can get two points,"

He also applauded Mukesh Kumar for bowling an excellent last over and also credited two spinners and their role in the team. He said that they are experienced players and he just needed to maneuver them well.

"Mukesh has had an excellent last over. The two spinners have been great, they are our rock. These are very experienced bowlers and they can't let you down. You just need to maneuver them well,"
