In finals, you don't think about toss but play good for five days. There is excitement and nervousness, but no need to run away from it, have to accept it. Vidarbha have also played very well all season, so have to focus on ourselves. Every game is an opportunity for all of us to do well for Mumbai. Awasthi is out due to a niggle."
