Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, after winning the Player of the Match award for his sensational performance, the 25-year-old left-arm pacer said:

“I want to thank God. I’m doing this for my mom, she is home sick. This is motivating me to be a better player. Thankful for it.”

“It put a lot of pressure on their batters. I always look for wickets in the powerplay because that stops batsmen from scoring runs in the powerplay,” he stated.

McCoy added that he was overthinking a lot in the first T20I against India, but went into the second T20I with a clear mind.

“Went in with a clear mind. Was overthinking in the previous game,” McCoy said.

“It gives me a lot of challenge and experience. Helps groom me as a player,” he said while talking about his ability to bowl in the powerplay.
