“Quite satisfying and obviously won the series and to contribute in a winning cause is a good feeling. The focus is to improve every day and and I am not thinking much about anything, just trying to focus on getting better.

He [Kieron Pollard] is like a brother to me and playing against him, he knows my strength and I know his strength. I guess whoever uses his brain [gets the better of of the other],” Pandya was quoted as saying.
