The way we bowled today were very smart and spot: Hardik Pandya
Hardik on Thursday praised his bowlers for a dangerous SRH batting lineup to bowl. Jasprit Bumrah & Company limited the Orange Army to 162/5. In response, MI reached the target with four wickets and 11 balls.
Hardik said, “The way we bowled today, it was very smart and spot. We clung to basic plans and discovered that some delivery is not easy to hit. It was the game where we squeezed it,” Hardik said.
“It could be a good track, as well as a good greenness. Deepak bowled some balls that got stuck there. So we thought that change in speed could be useful. We were trying to mix it. Because if you keep bowling at a slow pace, batsmen can line you. We did well with Yorkers, so they said that he said.”
