It was a pressure situation catch. I was at long-on near her. I saw the ball fly up high in the air. I thought I would run to catch it but then I saw that it was Amanjot under the ball. So, she would catch it. She is a brilliant fielder. When I saw that she fumbled, I said, oh no, I will run. When she caught it in the third attempt, I said, oh shit, thank you so much, you caught it. Otherwise I would have regretted that I did not run towards her. It came right in the middle of the lights (the ball)."
