Varun, who played a major role in scouting both the young pacers for SRH, revealed that his only message for Sakib and Praful before the match was to enjoy the debut game and not think about the result, which worked in the team's favour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy only plan for them was to just enjoy the game because you debut only once in any format of cricket. Considering where they\u2019ve come from, what they\u2019ve done today is massive, and you\u2019ve just got to enjoy it. My only plea before the game was that if I didn\u2019t see them enjoying it, I\u2019d be really angry, and they truly did enjoy it. We all did,\u201d Varun told reporters after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Varun also lauded the conviction of Praful to get the wicket of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Revealing the pre-match conversation, the former Indian fast bowler said, \u201cThe conversation was that he wanted to go around the wicket, and I was like, \u2018No, you just stay over the wicket. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll get him out.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI mean, it\u2019s teamwork, you know. At the end of the day, all credit goes to Praful. He had the conviction to get Vaibhav out. He said, \u2018I\u2019ve gotten Vaibhav out before, I\u2019m going to get him out today. But the plan was his, the conviction was his, and I\u2019m really happy for him,\u201d Varun added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Praful had a dream debut as he picked three wickets in his very first over, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to take three wickets in the opening over of an innings. He registered the figures of 4-34 in his four overs over quota.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
