After the match, Hardik said that there was no problem even though it took 15 runs in the last over.
Man of the match Hardik said, ‘In such a run chase, you always plan over by over. I knew they had a bowler (Naseem Shah) playing for the first time, a left-arm spinner as well. We needed 7 runs in the last over, if it took 15 runs, it wouldn’t have been a problem. I know bowlers are under more pressure in the last over. ‘
Hardik also bowled brilliantly before India won with the bat. About his bowling, he said, ‘In bowling, it is important to understand the situation and use your weapons. My area of strength is hard length bouncers. Now all that is left is to use them well and create questions in the mind of the batters so that they make mistakes. ‘
