“It feels out of the world for me. I am very happy for myself but I want to contribute more for the team,” said Priyansh.

The opener said that he wants to maintain the intent and revealed that Shreyas wanted him to go after the bowling from the very first delivery.

“The intent will be same for me. When I spoke to Shreyas bhaiya, he told me to bat with positive intent. If I get the first ball in the slot, he told me to go for it. I did exactly that tonight,” said Priyansh.

‘Always like to play according to situations’

Despite his aggressive knock, which went into overdrive after PBKS was reduced to 83 for five, Priyansh said that he wants to play according to the situation. Priyansh said he had a chat with Nehal Wadhera in the middle, who told him to continue to play his natural game despite the wickets.

“I always like to play according to the situations. When Nehal walked in, I had a chat with him whether I showed slow down or not. But he told me to play my natural game and I continued to go for big shots,” said Priyansh.

PBKS went back into the top four with the win and will face SRH in their next game.
