The southpaw scored an unbeaten 73 as the hosts chased down Mumbai’s modest total of 129-4 with relative ease. “I knew the pitch was slow and we had to hold on to our wickets in the first six overs. Patience was going to be key and that was our plan,” the 24-year-old said. “Once we settled down, we got the boundaries that helped us win easily.”
