Only the second Indian cricketer to be adjudged man of the match on ODI debut, pacer Mohit Sharma said it all felt like a dream even though he was preparing for this moment for a long time
Mohit's 2/26 in 10 overs, including three maidens, in the fourth one-dayer against Zimbabwe was crucial to India's comprehensive nine-wicket win yesterday.
"Yeah, it all feels like a dream," Mohit said. "But I have worked on my bowling and it is showing. I am ready to do well in whatever opportunity I am going to get. I was just focusing on keeping things simple and sticking to basics. I did not want to try too many things and it worked for me today," he added. Mohit, who came into the spotlight with impressive performances in the IPL this season, said it was not easy to send down miserly spells during powerplays. "It is difficult to bowl in Powerplays but we work hard in practice sessions," Mohit explained.
