Q. Was there a worry about the bad start, especially when it went off, and what was the advice on the team from the staff regarding that? And also, how much did the fan support help in recovering that?

MAHEESH THEEKSHANA: Yeah, fan support was good because there's a lot of fans in here.

It can happen; the top order didn't score, but I think we countered at them because we had our trump card, so he played really nice and had the most really supportive role.

I think there's huge fans in here, so yeah.
