“Fortunately, all went according to plan; I just stick to my natural variations just like I did in the national One-day cup to pick up the wickets,” said Umaid.

Commenting on his return to completive cricket after injury, he said, “It was quite difficult for me to comeback from the injury and deliver such performance.”
