Both the batsmen started putting pressure on the bowlers. Man of the match Dinesh Karthik said that it looks very cool. Some things did not go well in the last match and now I am assessing the situation brilliantly. This comes from planning and experience.
“His bowlers bowled brilliantly and our top batsmen did not move,” said Karthik. When I got down to bat, Hardik told me to stay at the crease. It’s great to work on a plan. Hardik Pandya also played a 6-run innings in this match with the help of 4 fours and 6 sixes in 21 balls. The two had a five-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
