I stay a lot calmer when I have a target in mind and I know how to pace an innings. I am happy that I could do it today,&quot; Rayadu was quoted as saying by iplt20.com after Tuesday&#39;s match.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The right-hander remained unbeaten, scoring 49 off 40 balls after coming into bat under trying circumstances with MI struggling at 40\/4 at the Wankhede stadium.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;We had lost four wickets and it was necessary at that point to bat till the end and take the game exactly how we planned it,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Speaking about the partnership with his skipper Rohit Sharma, he said, &quot;There was no discussion as such, we were just trying to bat till the end. It was difficult to plan as such; but if there was a plan, it was to be there at the end.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Known as someone who uses his long handle to good effect, Rayadu played an uncharacteristic innings curbing his usual flair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;It comes with experience to be honest. That is what you learn as you grow as a batsman. It is not about hitting fours and sixes; you have to play according to the situation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;I think once you are a seasoned cricketer you know how to handle situations and I am happy that I could do that today. And it gives me immense happiness to come out on top,&quot; Rayudu expressed happiness at getting the job done.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">On planning how they would chase the target down after Rohit got out, Rayudu added, &ldquo;When it had come down to getting ten runs per over, all we had to do was hit one boundary an over and run the next five balls (for singles).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It was exactly what we were doing till the 19th over. We wanted to leave around six or seven runs for the last over; we left eight and it was all about one hit in the next few balls.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
