Charles said he enjoyed batting with Litton and called the latter a "classic player".
"I enjoyed it, honestly I thought it was a good pitch. It was a 200 pitch but they only got 175 so I thought if we take it to the last over, we will win. Once you stick to your plans, you do well."
"I am glad that I could take my team over the line and win it for the Comilla Victorians. Litton has been superb, he is such a joy to watch, he is a classic player," he added.
