In post-match interview, Mohsin Khan spoke about the tough phase he faced in recent times and said that his father had been in the intensive care unit for the last 10 days.
“Been a tough time as I was injured, playing after a year. My father got discharged from the ICU yesterday and he was in the hospital for the last 10 days and I did it for him, he would have been watching,” Mohsin Khan said after the match.

“The run-up is the same, did not change it in the last over. I was trying to calm myself down, not look at the scoreboard and bowl the 6 balls well. “Since the wicket was gripping, I tried the slower ball, but I bowled two of those and then changed to the yorker and it was reversing as well.”
Mohsin Khan also revealed how a career-threatening injury laid him low last season. “I went through a career threatening injury. I once had a feeling that I couldn’t play again. Doctors said if I was a month late in that surgery, they might have to cut my hand off. LSG team supported me the most,” Mohsin said.
