“No, I wasn’t nervous (laughs). I was a bit more angry and upset that we got ourselves in this position,” Gayle told Agarwal on IPLT20.com. “But it’s a game of cricket and these things do happen.”
“Shami is the man of the match for me,” Gayle continued. “To defend six runs against Rohit and de Kock, that’s fantastic. That’s a great job. I have faced you in the nets and I know that you can nail those yorkers, and nail them well. Today he came and delivered and brought it home for us.”
