Speaking after RCB innings, Kashvee Gautam said, “The plan was to bowl as many dots as possible and keep it on the stumps, I’m happy that I was able to execute that. My strength is swing so I focused on bowling it in the right areas.”
“(On her celebration) I thought of changing something, nothing much about it. I bowl from wider of the crease to create an angle and try to bowl it cross-seam. Pitch is very good for batting, the ball was coming on nicely to the bat, so it’s a very chaseable score.”
