Like I said in the last post-match question and answer session [in Centurion] about Prasidh [Krishna] playing his most memorable game, we as a whole get anxious when you are playing your most memorable game. It’s justifiable, yet I thought, I’ll in any case back that idea of mine, that he has a decent capacity to prevail at this level and particularly in this configuration. So it’s just about showing confidence and confidence in everybody and taking care of business from them,” Rohit said.
