And he was so determined to win that game. That's why he didn't go in and just try and hit from Ball One," Penney said.
Penney reiterated his admiration for the player's confidence and unique approach to daily practice routines.
"I'm sure he's very excited to play at the Wankhede Stadium for the first time. We don't have to talk to him much.
He's just such a pleasant boy, he's very confident, he's just so excited every day to go and play and practice.
So, to be honest, we don't really have to talk to him too much.
He's just in his little bubble, he practices hard, and then when he goes out to play, he just enjoys himself.
So, it's pretty rare that I've ever seen that. So, I've been in cricket for 40 years and I haven't seen that before.

So, long may that last, and I certainly hope that it works tomorrow," Penney concluded.
