believed in my abilities
Talking to the Times of India, Arjun Tendulkar said, “I always believed in my ability and knew that if I got set, I could score big. I just had to play the game for the first hour and then take advantage of it. When I went to play, I faced most of the balls because Suyash was playing on 80 and my job was to protect him.
Arjun further said, “It was just basic – give the bowler the first hour, the new ball gives some advantage to the bowler in the morning. After seeing the initial phase, it was time to take advantage and score runs.
