Told the Team’s Strategy

Hardik Pandya further said, “In my captaincy, I want to keep it simple and keep my courage back. I have a simple rule – if I go down, I go down on my own terms. We have talked about taking challenges. When we played the IPL final, we thought the second innings was more fun but today on this surface, I wanted to make it a normal match because it was crucial. That’s why we batted first. Hope we can continue with this kind of performance.
