Bowlers showed prudence
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya praised his team bowlers after a 4 -wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. He said that the team bowled very sensibly and remained on the basic plans. It was not easy to hit some balls and the bowlers played this perfect plan well.
The understanding of the pitch made a difference
Pandya told that when Deepak Chahar threw some overs in the beginning, some balls were staying on the wicket. Then the team understood that changing speed on this pitch would prove to be effective. As soon as this understood this, the bowlers adopted the same strategy and did not give the batsmen a chance to set.
Yorker and Slower Balls worked
He further stated that the team put yorker balls in the middle overs very accurately, due to which Hyderabad’s team could not gain speed. Slower balls were also used at the right time, so that the batsmen could not come on the line.
Will Jax’s all -round performance
Hardik also praised Mumbai all -rounder Will Jax. He said that Jax is a great all -rounder. He not only performs good fielding, but can also put over at times of need and is also very aggressive in batting. His performance in today’s match was very useful for the team.
Plan cleaned during batting
Talking about the plan in the match, Hardik said that when the team wanted 42 runs in 42 balls, he and Tilak Verma decided that they did not lose wickets in a hurry. He played two overs comfortably so that the pressure withdrew and later the match could be eliminated by hitting the boundary.
Excited about the upcoming matches
Finally, Hardik said that the next match is going to be quite exciting and the stadium will also be packed. The team is full of confidence at this time and will now start preparing further with rest.
