We had faith in Allah, we supported each other,8221; said Younis. 8220;We have always got good support from the Indian fans, just like India always enjoy good support when they play in Pakistan,8221; he added.
Attributing today8217;s win to his players playing as a team, Younis said, 8220;We wanted to play positive cricket. The seniors in the team, myself, Mohammad Yousuf and Razzaq have always played positive cricket. We played as a team and won as a team.8221;
Detailing his approach as captain, Younis added: 8220;The last one week, the players had real fun. I wanted the youngsters in the team to have a positive feeling. We went to movies and did what not.
