Talking about the match against Rajasthan in Sharjah, Kolkata pacer Shivam Mavi took 4 wickets for just 21 runs while performing amazingly. He was adjudged man of the match. Shivam said after the match, ‘I feel really better after doing well on this wicket. My plan was to bowl wicket-to-wicket and not to give room for shots due to low bounce. You must keep learning. I learned during U-19 cricket how to use the slower ball, when to bowl the yorker. I have learned a lot while bowling with KKR.
