What did Rituraj Gaikwad say after the defeat?
After the match, Rituraj Gaikwad said, “I think in the last four matches, the only point of difference (fielding difference). It has been important. The same batsman is leaving the catch, the same batsman is scoring 15,20, 30 runs. Sometimes you should appreciate it. Priyansh played well. High-risk batting and it was well. We would get help from leaving the catch. “
He further said, “It was right from the batting perspective. Our two best batsmen (Rachin and Conway) who played at good speed went to the top.
The captain focusing on the filing, saying, “I said before the game that we should enjoy fielding. If you are nervous, you will leave the catch. If you want to become a great fielder, save those two three, get out, it helps the team. Your bad days can come in batting and bowling.”
