'I have been playing like this for a while'

Speaking to Yuzvendra Chahal after his brilliant kck of 159 runs, ace opener Rohit Sharma said, "KL was batting really good, so my job n was to give him strike and along with that to strike loose balls that I get.

He ded, "I took my time until I scored 50 runs after that even I started striking well. I have been playing like this for quite a while w, that is why I back that template and I kw if I play till 40-45 overs I will get everything covered."
