The KKR batter said at the post-match presentation, ‘I didn’t think about the last ball. Even when I hit those five sixes, I hadn’t thought much. I was playing on the merit of the ball. I had the belief in me that I could finish the game. I have got used to it, sometimes I bat at 5, sometimes at 6, 7. I practice that way. There is no particular way I like to celebrate.’
