“I think that the strange ball was always captivating and for us what was most important, it was the first 6 letters, and if you give too much in the first 6, it becomes a little easy and Surya is a brilliant bowling player and with dew, it was a little less, but it was not as if it happened well. And at the same time, you want to be practical.
