Meanwhile, Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya said after the match,
“There is more pressure than me playing the 20th over for the bowler who is delivering the ball to me. It’s not my ego, it’s my self-confidence.”
Indian captain Rohit said, “Since the time he (Hardik) has made his comeback, he’s been brilliant. When he was not part of the team, he figured out what he needs to do to his body and his fitness regime, and now he is clocking 140+ easily. His batting quality we all know and it’s been brilliant since his comeback. He is a lot calmer now and more confident about what he wants to do, whether it’s with the bat or with the ball. He can bowl really quick, we saw that today with those short balls. It was always about just understanding his game and he’s doing that well now. In a high-pressure chase with 10 rpo needed, you can panic but he never showed any of that,” he signed off.
