Player of the Match
Saurabh Netravalkar | Washington Freedom
Yeah, I’m really grateful to get that opportunity again, and I’m glad I could execute for the team today. Firstly, it’s a great vibe here. It’s lovely to be here and see the ground. The assessment was that there was some variable bounce and some swing on offer as well. So we wanted to hit good lengths, hit the top of off, keep the stumps in play. I think that’s all I tried to do – keep it simple.
Absolutely. We’ve come a long way. There are four or five stadiums now, and season by season, MLC is growing. So it’s great. Thanks for the support in the country.
