“The moment I walked in. The moment when I got the four. We were just talking, ‘Tilak we have to believe that we are going to get one strong, good over’ and that’s what the T20 game is all about. One good over (for batting) and the pressure is back on the bowling side.
“We managed to take twos of even the good balls. And off the bad balls, we managed to hit for boundaries. I think that’s where the game really changed for us.”
Nitish also credited India head coach Gautam Gambhir for not adding any unnecessary expectations on the player and letting their natural game take over.
“Gautam sir keeps telling us, whatever situation we are in, we have to keep believing. He didn’t put any other extra pressure that we have to go in and straightaway go bang bang. We are experienced players and we played to ourselves, and the results came.”
The five-game series now moves over the Wellington, where the next contest will be played on 27 October.
