Happy to get off the mark. I was sitting there in the unker and allowing it was like getting my first Test run ( about the pressure to get their first points of the season). We were on the luckier side moment. We sailed well before as well this season. But the problem is the fur. We need to go back and look at ourselves and see how we can get better. Baits sailed well. I know we haven’t played well and need to find a way to club more. We work hard with the boys and get them back in form. Be it Prithvi, Manish, Mitch Marsh. They’ve been important players and around for a while for their separate brigades. We’ve a day off hereafter and also fly to Hyderabad, hopefully it’ll be a good fur gate there, it generally is.”
I was just staying for my chance. I wanted to win a game for the platoon whenever I’ll get a chance. Depends on what kind of plans you have ( When quizzed if he’d specific plans to a certain batter). Matter of time when you want to execute your plans. There’s no lucky charm in the platoon. We’d want to win every game from then on, qualify and hopefully win the event.”
Eventually. We scrapped our way to it. Over to Hyderabad. We’re really proud of the bowling unit. We did exceptionally well to get lattices in the PP. We lost lattices in cluster. We’re veritably honest to each other. We bandied about areas to ameliorate upon. We played an Okay game.”
I suppose we were 15- 20 runs on this delicate pitch. I take the responsibility for this , I should have stood there. Credit to the bowlers however, I suppose the forthcoming games will be good for us. We were just trying to delay, but they played really well in the powerplay. That is where they won the game. We need to play well as a platoon. We need to drift like the way we did moment, if we manage to sort these effects out, we can fight better.”
