"My job is to play a few balls and then play my attacking game. We were under a bit of pressure after losing the first game (against New Zealand). (In that match) we did not bat the way we wanted to. Here we lost three quick wickets which put us under pressure. We needed to get a partnership and the 50 plus stand with Virat took the pressure off us," said the 35-year-old veteran left-hander.
Yuvraj is happy that the team has got its confidence back which it will carry into the next match against Bangladesh.
"I am happy that team won as it was important to get the confidence back. The next match is against Bangladesh and hope that we continue in good form."
The hallmark of the Indian team's batting in recent times has been their running between the wickets and even the senior
player acknowledged the fact.
"We understand our batting. The running between the wickets and especially the calling (for singles and twos) was good." He also praised the bowlers for restricting the opposition to 118 in 18 overs.
"We restricted them well. They could never score more than six and half runs per overs. The best part was that they could not score a lot of runs in the final overs."
