Shreyas Gopal (Mangaluru Dragons Captain): "100%. It gives us a lot of confidence. We have a day's break, then we will have two back-to-back games. I think we always had a par total on the board. But we could have got 200 runs.
There was no plan to bowl the second. But I got the backing from the team management. Thus, I backed my decision and I paid off."
