“It was a good performance after the defeat yesterday. We didn't have much time to lament. I felt that T20 is all about momentum. It was my day today. Special thanks to the coaches and captain to keep confidence. I feel like if it's your day, you express yourself. After the drop I thought it was my day and had to take responsibility. Rutu helped me in keeping perspective. I always believe in my (hitting) ability. It's about momentum for me. If it's in the arc, I believe I need to hit it over regardless of when it is,” said Abhishek in the post match conference.
