He also believes that openers have enough time to settle in T20s and they do not have to rush in the game.

“Mahi bhai has always mentioned that do not try to rush thoughts because in T20 cricket, you are more in rush but their is enough time. Especially as opener, I have around 50 balls to face and if you score 80 off 50 balls than that is good enough for the team. That game plan stuck with me from the time I played with CSK,” he added.
