"It's a bit emotional. When we landed in Mumbai yesterday and earlier when I landed at the airport, I went to my family or friends, but this time it was different because this time I was doing cricket for New Zealand." Thanks to Mitchell McClenaghan, I used to be in Wankhede for a few IPL games. I've bowled a couple of times during training sessions so yeah it's cool and nostalgic at the same time, "said Ajaz Patel.

"It's a special moment for me. My family have never seen me play in person. So it will be the first time they are in the stands, it's a great feeling," he added.
