'I was prepared for short-pitch stuff'

Patel was impressive during his knock of 95 and looked particularly good in tackling the short deliveries of England fast bowlers.

"I had the advantage of watching England's bowling in Tests. They had a plan to bowl short to our batsmen. In the 7-8 days I was in National Cricket Academy (NCA), I prepared myself against short-pitched bowling. I knew if I opened, they would come hard at me."

"I am happy that I could execute my plans in the first game and would like to continue (in the same manner)," he added.
