PIC/AFP The St Lucian batsman was named Man of the Match for his 97 which came off 100 balls and included eight fours and four sixes.u00a0&ldquo;I felt nice and relaxed at the crease. I was told to go out and play my natural game and that is what I did,&rdquo; Charles said. &ldquo;In the last game I had no rhythm but this game I came out with a bit more intent and I knew exactly where I wanted to score. I played to my strengths and played shots according to the fields India set.&rdquo; &ldquo;When you get out for 97 it is always going to be a disappointing feeling but I have to say &lsquo;well done&rsquo; to Tino and Roach for getting us across the line,&rdquo; said Charles.
