Fantastic to play with Sachin: Franklin

James Franklin who played a match-winning innings of 23-ball unbeaten 45 to take Mumbai Indians to an improbable win over the Kolkata Knight Riders said he wast just trying to hit as hard as he could and got a couple of lucky boundaries.


"Just try and get the ball over the rope really. Trying to hit it as hard as I could and fortunately enough I got a couple of lucky nicks for four."

Asked if the wicket was good for batting Franklin said "Yeah absolutely, the wicket played pretty well and the outfield was pretty fast it was just a case of getting a good start".

Asked about the mood in the team during the chase Franklin said "I guess the mood in the cap would have been a bit of nervousness and it’s not always that you can pull games out of a hat like that… There is a great feeling in the camp"
