"Nothing much, don't really have any words right now. It was the tenth over, I was thinking I had not waited so long to bowl (in a T20 game) but it paid off (in the end). We were sitting and watching how the first innings went. Cutters into the wicket were doing well and the plan was to make sure I use those lengths. I just figured that was working, so did not want to test the speed gun (smiles). Wanted to keep things simple, every single ball was important" said Prasidh Krishna.
