Explaining if he felt pressure when things do not go his way, the 22-year-old said, "I don't put pressure on myself that I've to create an impact. I just keep myself calm and composed and focus on what I can do. I just go out there and do the basics right and enjoy the game."

Rashid, who was later adjudged man of the match, was candid while admitting that he misses his parents who passed away in the last year and a half.

"Tough one and a half years for me, first my dad expired and then my mom three-fours months ago. And it took a bit of time for me to come back. My mom was my biggest fan, especially in the IPL and when I was the MoM, she would always talk to me through the night."

Introduced in the eighth over, Rashid got into the act straightaway, dismissing DC skipper Shreyas Iyer with his second ball and then returned to remove swashbuckling left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan with a wrong'un in the 12th over.

However, the leg-spinner may not have dismissed opener Dhawan had it not been for wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow's alertness.
