Fabian Allen after LPL win
It was a fantastic win. Credit to the batting group, they did a phenomenal job. I am happy, grateful and speechless right now. It was a remarkable partnership (between Rossouw and Mendis). I am a bowling all-rounder at the moment. Whatever the team asks me to do, I step up and put my hand up. We back our strengths and back ourselves, that's what we do. We go out there and back each other. To come out on top, I am so happy.
