The entire team worked together, and we finally won this cup. My plan is always simple, no matter what the match is. I try to give my best in every game. Whenever the team needs something, I try to put in my full effort because every match is important for us. Everyone has supported me a lot. Without their support throughout this journey, I wouldn't be here today. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. I also want to thank the people of Jammu and Kashmir."
