Transcript

00:00 Thank you Uday. Can you just sum up for us today's victory and your reaction to it?

00:04 It was very good. We were very happy with the victory and we are looking forward to the tournament.

00:10 Excellent. It looked quite tough batting out there, especially early on. Can you just tell us

00:15 about the conditions and the wicket?

00:17 It was difficult. We had lost two wickets earlier, but Adarsh was there and he told me how the wicket was going.

00:24 It was a bit tough and the ball was swinging a bit, but we were ready for it and we were very well prepared for it.

00:30 How confident were you that 250 was going to be a winnable total?

00:35 We were confident with every total actually. We thought we would defend everything we scored.

00:44 We would stay focused and try our best to score as many as possible.

00:49 Even if it's 250, 300 or 230, it doesn't matter.

00:54 Of course, it was a very important partnership for your team with Adarsh and yourself.

00:59 Can you just tell us about what it was like batting together and how important that was?

01:03 It was great. We thought we would bat together and we would try to score as many wickets as possible.

01:12 It was very important in that phase because we had to score two wickets early and we had to take the game long.

01:18 We did that and Adarsh was brilliantly playing. I supported him and we were here.

01:25 How much confidence will you take as a team going forward into your next game against the USA?

01:30 We were confident earlier as well, but we had to take every game as important.

01:35 We took this game as important as well. It was great that we won.

01:40 We are even more confident now. We will stay down to earth and go further.

01:45 Thank you very much, Uday.

01:47 Thank you very much.
