I am very happy with the way I have contributed to the team. This is my home ground and many people were watching.

When I was fielding, they were asking me to score a century today. Unfortunately, I could not score a century but I am happy that my team won the match.

He further said, ‘Maybe I can contribute to the victory of my team in the next match as well. Scoring runs was not easy for the new batsman.

I have played many matches here in Ranchi, so we were trying to play according to the bowling.

Ishan Kishan played stormy innings of 93 runs. The partnership Ishaan and Shreyas formed was worth watching: Dhawan

Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan said after the match, ‘The ball was coming on the bat well but staying low, so our plan was to take an aggressive approach against the bowlers in the first ten overs.

As soon as the dew started falling, the ball was slipping, so it became easier to play on the back foot. I am very happy with the bowlers, especially Shahbaz.

The way he bowled in the first ten overs gave us success. Thanks to Keshav that he decided to bat. I must say that the way Ishaan and Shreyas forged a partnership was worth watching.
