Then Sanju told about the pitch, 'In the beginning the pitch was holding a little. When Akshar Patel bowled in the powerplay, the ball was stopping. But as the overs increased, it became a good pitch for the batsmen. Batting with Ayush was a great experience. We wanted to put as big a score as possible on the board. We have a long batting lineup, so we had to contribute by choosing the right bowlers.
