Before the game we had discussed in the meeting that you should play your natural game and play fearlessly, you will see whatever happens. Today every player showed their game, regardless of the circumstances.
On Akshar Patel’s strong bowling, Surya said, “I always like to send Axar first in pressure situations.” The style with which he bowled today was incredible. Talking about his plans in death overs, Surya said, “The plan there was very simple.” The bowlers were asked to continue bowling the yorkers on the stumps. If this strategy doesn’t work, we’ll see if something else can be done.
