It is always disappointing to get dismissed at 93 for a set batsman, but I think it was a good contribution to the team. It was very important to gain momentum for the team initially in the 2nd innings. To lessen off the pressure from the next batters.

On this, he said I heard people saying that we are the B side, we are not so much capable of beating South Africa full strength side I heard these comments and that made us upset. So, we really wanted to play the A game.
We lost the first game but wanted to win this game to give a good fight to Proteas. We opened about 161. They had two left-arm spinners so a left batter I had the chance to hit big.
