I’m extremely happy and even more so because we got over the line. He (Saha) was instrumental in that (opening) partnership, allowed me to relax a little bit and really happy with that.”We obviously had a tough tournament, but to come out and play like that with a smile on the face, we have got to keep our feet grounded and keep doing the right things,” Roy said after picking up the Player of the Match award.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
