Mentions that he was just trying to show intent from the start and was lucky that the balls were pitched in his areas. Says that Con

On the other hand, Gujarat bowled decently for the first couple of overs, but then they were taken aback. Umesh Yadav and Azmatullah Omarzai bowled in tandem in the Powerplay. However, they were unsettled by the onslaught from Rachin.

Wriddhiman Saha again displayed his brilliance as he stumped Ajinkya
