Player of the Match Hardik Pandya spoke about how the bowler should be in pressure and how he handled the situation well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn bowling, it\u2019s important to assess the situations and use your weapons. For me, bowling short and the hard lengths have been my strengths. It\u2019s about using them well and asking the right questions to make the batters commit a mistake. In a chase like this, you always plan over-by-over. I always knew that there is one young bowler and also one left-arm spinner.\u00a0We only needed 7 off the last over but even if we needed 15, I\u2019d have fancied myself.<\/b> I know the bowler is under more pressure than me in the 20th over. I try to keep things simple,\u201d said Hardik Pandya.<\/p>\n
Hardik Pandya\u2019s greatest bowling characteristics stood out on a sticky pitch with some bounce, much like the brightest star on a starry night. He continued to bowl at 140 kmph with some\u00a0\u00a0bouncers too\u00a0and taking all three of his wickets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
