After his brilliant play, he pendown his thoughts about being ignored for IPL selection. He stated “Such things are very common in this cricket world!, but in that IPL match LSG reached out to me because of injury and I was definitely ready to step into, “Any bidding, any selection can’t define me but my performance does”. His ability to make an impact with a strong mindset is really commendable.
