Vaibhav Expresses His Delight
Post-match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi had this to say:
"It's a very good feeling. It was also my first IPL century, and it came in the third game simply. All the practice I had prior to the tournament stood me in good stead. I do not think about the ground much; I think about how the ball is moving and play accordingly. Batting with Jaiswal is an excellent experience. Getting a century in the IPL was my wish, and today it has been fulfilled. I play without any fear and remain focused on the game."
