It feels so good when you have a great start in every match," Pant told host broadcaster Star Sports at the post-match presentation.
"Most of the things are sorted but we need to try a few things for the Kolkata leg. The competition is very good, it's difficult we can make everyone play. I am enjoying captaincy, learning each and every day. Everyone is helping me," he added.
