Been waiting for this moment for 6 years
After the match, Shivam Mavi said that he was waiting for this moment for 6 years. He said, “Had been waiting for this moment for six years after playing under-19. A lot of hard work had to be done in those six years. Got injured too. For a while, it seemed that my dream would remain a dream, but I persevered with it. Playing in the IPL eased the nervousness a bit. My idea in the powerplay was to attack and get them out."
