“It was all about my line and length in those two games that didn’t go well. That was something I lacked in those games. I couldn’t afford to lose my line and length at my current pace and action, so it was all about focusing on hitting the right area. Today’s wicket helped with bounce and turn, but it was all about bowling in the right areas. They (the pacers) have provided us with a platform from which we can apply pressure “Rashid Khan stated in a post-match presentation.

We must improve on a daily basis and continue to do good. The emphasis should now be on playing good cricket and having fun “He continued.
