Hardik Pandya was planning one over at a time and would have "fancied" his chances even if India needed 15 runs rather than the seven that they scored in the final over to win their Asia Cup opener against Pakistan.
Pandya had a dream game, first scalping 3 wickets for 25 in his four overs and then finished the match with a six off Mohammed Nawaz, having scored 33 invaluable unbeaten runs off 17 balls.
India defeated Pakistan by five wickets on Sunday to go to the top of their group, that also includes Hong Kong.
