I had my plan – Dinesh Karthik

After winning the game, Karthik said, “There wasn’t too much talk. Rohit was trying to tell me that this is what a bowler would do, I had my plan. As an average batter, it’s all about execution. It feels good to hit winning runs. Ro with the bat and Axar with the ball stood out, it was good to see Bumrah back. We have to carry the momentum forward. 1-1 is a good result. You want to play those crunch games. But most importantly we are happy to put on a show for the crowd without any injuries.
