“I have dreamt of it. To get one of this. Hopefully, it is not the last and more to come.

Trust them (the bowlers), as much as I can. They stick with me all the way till the end and they all (Roach, Alzarri) did a fantastic job.

They are why I have this. I did my part and I tried my best,” said Da Silva in a post-match presentation.
