“I could take this stadium with me wherever I bat. I was just trying to keep things simple. I believe that in T20 as well. This stadium is right up there with anywhere in the world. I would love to thank the fans for coming out and supporting us,” he said after being named MoM.

“Happy that our T20 World Cup preparation starts from here with a win, we will go on from this game. “It was a good batting strip, the ball came nicely on to the bat, I could play my shots. The crowd have been brilliant as well, they have supported us very well right throughout the tour,” the 27-year-old added.
