Urvil's heroics actually helped CSK gun down a mammoth 208 against Lucknow to keep their playoff hopes alive. 

"There was nothing in my mind, but I just wanted to bat according to the situation and the ball. The coach just told me to maintain a stable base and then hit, I did the same. Rutu said the wicket was low and to be ready for it. He didn't tell me much; he just let me play my game," Urvil said after his knock. 

Urvil also dedicated his knock to his father who was an inspiration for him in his growing up years. After completing his fifty in 13 balls, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which had a note, "This is for you, Papa" written on it. Urvil also joined Yashasvi Jaiswal for the record of the fastest IPL fifty in just 13 balls.
