On this, the experienced player said, ‘Sunil Narayan is really an excellent player and scoring 105 runs in the powerplay is a big thing. We were in Bengaluru. Chahal is a very good bowler and we batted very well against him. We were on 99 runs and I hit a six on the last ball and took the team’s score beyond 100. This year Head also scored 15 to 20 runs in every over and he batted really aggressively and broke this record. I am very happy for him myself.

This is my first time in Zimbabwe and the players also want to present their best performance in front of the world. We just want to finish this tournament on a high note. What are the young players who have left their mark in this tournament? Question: When T20 cricket was started, questions were also raised on this. The T10 format is also in its infancy. What would you like to say about this format? Chris Lynn: The best thing about this format is that you can play three matches in a single day. Sometimes you have to play two matches in the same day and it is a good challenge for the players as well and they get a chance to show tremendous performance against different teams. The T10 format is just beginning and it will take some time for the players to understand it. Question: Just as the T20 format has achieved a new position at the international level, can the T10…
