Yashasvi Jaiswal said the North Mumbai Panthers' five-wicket win over Shivaji Park Lions on Thursday will always have a special place in his heart. Chasing Lions' 135-9, Jaiswal's 43-ball 69 was instrumental in Panthers' win after being in dire straits at 28-3 in 5.4 overs.


"This match will always be special for me. It is a wonderful opportunity for me to play in this tournament. I am getting to learn a lot from the seniors. Everybody encouraged and motivated me to perform well. I was dismissed for a duck in the previous match, but Ajju bhai [Ajinkya Rahane] told me to contribute in the fielding and bowling departments. Such things matter a lot," he said on Thursday.


Jaiswal added 96 runs for the fourth wicket with stand-in skipper Yogesh Takawale (23) as Panthers chased down the target with two balls to spare. "I just played according to the merit of the ball. I was confident about the win. Takawale told me to stay at the crease. As we had a left-right hand combination, we were getting runs as well," he added.
