On joining the camp, Prasad said that she was thankful to the players for giving her a warm welcome.

"To be honest, I expected that there would be cameras but I didn't expect players being there to welcome me. But obviously, it made me very happy and I'm thankful to all the players for such a grand welcome," Prasad said, according to Delhi Capitals release.

The youngster believes staying calm on the big day in Kuala Lumpur was the key to success. "The important thing was that we were calm and composed during the finals. We just went out there and expressed ourselves. That's why we looked a more dominating side. My message to the players was very simple, go out there, just have fun, enjoy and dominate," she highlighted.
