Yashasvi Jaiswal played a match-winning knock of 110 and during the post-match interview, he stated that he tries to make his opportunities count. The Indian opener was keen on keeping his focus and scoring runs after having some disappointing knocks previously. He was delighted with his innings today and he even claimed that he was lucky when he was asked about converting his starts into hundreds. Jaiswal intended to keep the game simple by just rotating the strike and to allow himself to take some time before he could play some big shots to get into his usual groove while batting.

“Yes, I think I've been lucky, so I'm just trying to convert if I get the start. As I have seen like in sports and in cricket, especially that when it is your day, make it count. So I try to do that. Because a lot of experience I had recently that I was trying, but things were not going in my way. But I was very determined today that I just need to keep my focus in and just keep trying to rotate the strikes. And if I get in, so I'll just make it count,” stated Yashasvi Jaiswal on converting his starts into hundreds.
