Couldn’t do what we should have bowled: Hardik Pandya

Speaking at the match post match presentation against Punjab, Hardik Pandya said, “The way Shreyas batted, took opportunity and played some shots, he was really fantastic. He was very good. He did very well. I think the score was equal but we should have performed very well in bowling. Who matters a lot in big matches. Shreyas meant a lot. Shreyas was calm and we did not want to do wickets. Will not blame

Bowlers could be used better: Hardik

Hardik (Hardik Pandya) further said, “Perhaps we should have bowled in the right length or should have used the right bowler at the right time. In such a situation, the result could have been different. Turning back, Bumrah could have been used in a different way. In this case, the result could have been different but the result could have been different but it was not right to hurry. Bumrah knows that 18 balls are left, but today he could not do something special.”
