'I have been playing like this for a while'

Speaking to Yuzvendra Chahal after his brilliant knock of 159 runs, ace opener Rohit Sharma said, "KL was batting really good, so my job then was to give him the strike and along with that to strike the loose balls that I get. I was pretty determined to play 30-35 overs anyhow because it is essential for a set batsman to stay at the crease for a long time." He added, "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 now, that is why I back that template and I know if I play till 40-45 overs I will get everything covered."

'You can never plan a hat-trick'

Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav also spoke about his second ODI hat-trick on Chahal TV. He said, "The first spell was really good. I was not thinking about picking wickets but the way they were striking the ball, I thought if we get a wicket right now it would change the game. The way Pooran and Hope were batting, there was a need to take a wicket and Shami bhai helped us grab two wickets. You can never plan a hat-trick but when I struck first with Hope's wicket, then Holder got out then for the third one I planned how to bowl. I was confused about what to bowl but then I set up a gully and went with the wrong-un. Luckily, I could hit the spot."
