After the match, Parag revealed what was going on in the middle. "When Rahul bhaiyya came into bat, the main motto was to take it deep. Just last four overs were left, even Rashid had one. We planned for Rahul bhaiyya to take on Rashid and it worked out in the end."

He also revealed how he had planned to go after the bowlers, after the 16th over. "When I went into bat, after a few balls, I had a clear mind that I wanted to go after the 16th over. Rashid was bowling well, the spinners were bowling well, the wicket was slow as well. We just had to target the fast bowlers and the plan worked out perfectly."
