So, I enjoy the responsibility that I get, no matter what stage it is. And at that time, I try not to feel the pressure and enjoy the moment and bring good results for the team. It doesn't happen on a few occasions, but I try not to let it affect me, and when I get a chance in the next match, I do my best and win matches for the team," he told JioHotstar.
The left-arm pacer reminisced about his memorable debut against Mumbai Indians and highlighted his best performance against them at Wankhede Stadium.
