If we lose three early wickets, I can go in and make sure we stitch a partnership. We have such great powerhitters - David, Jitesh, and Shepherd. We can take down the bowling. Glad that I fulfilled my role. When Virat is at the other end, it is quite easy. First 20 balls, it was scratchy for me. But, he kept backing me. Then, I got his mojo.
