I genuinely believed that whenever my opportunity comes, I'll be prepared. Definitely the way I batted, I'm very happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHonestly you guys were telling me that you all were cheering for me on every other ball. We are genuinely enjoying each other's success, that's amazing, that's a great space to be a part of,\u201d said Washington to R Sai Kishore in a chat posted on iplt20.com on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Left-arm spinner Kishore\u2019s stellar run continued when he picked figures of 2-24 to torment SRH with dismissals of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen. \u201cFeels good to contribute whenever the ball is coming out of the hand. I think cricket teaches you a lot of things - to get a chance, and to make a name for myself. It has actually shaped me as a person, and cricketer. So still, the same fire is there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also felt grateful for all the hard work he put in paying off in IPL 2025. \u201cCricket is the most important thing for me in this life, it is what I dedicate my life for. It feels good to have all those 4 AMs and 4 sessions a day, practicing alone when nobody is watching and now all those things paying off.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Left-arm spinner Kishore\u2019s stellar run continued when he picked figures of 2-24 to torment SRH with dismissals of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen. \u201cFeels good to contribute whenever the ball is coming out of the hand.
