IPL 2022: Odean Smith lauds PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal for backing him
Odean Smith praised skipper Mayank Agarwal for motivating him after the pacer was unable to defend 19 runs in the last over against Gujarat Titans. Odean's statement came after Punjab Kings won against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, where he defended 22 runs in the final over. "They have been very motivating. They have helped me mentally to be able to come into this game and put in the performance today. They have been a major help for me. I would like to thank the coach," said Odean Smith in a post-match press conference. "Captain Mayank has been amazing. He has always come to me and told me that he is backing me 100 per cent, no matter what happens. It's just for me to believe that I can do it because I have the belief of the entire team behind me," he added.
