"As a cricketer, it is difficult sitting on the bench and then being chosen for a game. It was our last match, so the management told me that I am free to play. I tried to bowl economical spells, Mumbai got off to a good start. I got an opportunity, it is tough to play a game after a long time," said Nabi during a virtual post-match press conference.
In the game against Mumbai, Nabi ended up taking five catches and this was the first time, that a player managed to take five catches in a single IPL game.
"When the catches come, will take it. Grabbing on to the chances is crucial, I focus on my fielding. I took five catches and it was good to take them," said Nabi.
