"I don't think it was hard for me to cut down my natural game. I enjoy playing like this. Sometimes, I also enjoy leaving the ball. The team needed that kind of batting and that's what I delivered for my team," Dhawan told mediapersons at the post-match press conference. While he was "happy" that a couple of catches offered by
him were dropped, he did admit that a bruised right hand sustained during fielding, hampered his stroke selection.
