\u201cI am comfortable everywhere, I do not have any problem with that. But yes, if you get more time in a game to settle in, then obviously why not,\u201d Dhir said while speaking to broadcasters before the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The youngster revealed that he was asked to prepare for a top-order role at short notice due to Rohit Sharma dealing with a minor hamstring niggle. \u201cUnfortunately, Rohit Sharma bhai had a niggle in his hamstring. After that, one day before the match, I was told. Mahela Jayawardene told me that I might bat at number three,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The young batter grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he smashed 45 runs off just 32 balls against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhir added that the shift was not new to him as he bats in the top order in domestic cricket. \u201cActually, I bat in the top order for my domestic team as well, so it was nothing new for me. I just faced the new ball in the nets, so I felt I was ready,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Looking ahead to the clash, Dhir expects a charged-up atmosphere given the rivalry between the two teams. \u201cThere are some very big players playing for both teams, like MS Dhoni bhai is here. Both teams are five-time champions, so I guess that is why it is such a rivalry. The special moment is that the atmosphere today will be very good; it will be electrifying. There will be tremendous support for both teams, so we are looking forward to winning this game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThere are a lot of positive conversations happening. And if you look at slow starts, it has been a trend with the Mumbai Indians, so we are not too worried. We have just come here to play good cricket, and we will do that today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
