What did Hardik Pandya say?

Hardik Pandya said, “We didn't think of 180 after losing wickets in the beginning, this score seemed difficult. We fell short by 10-15 runs in this match. After that, our bowlers failed to bowl on line and length. We spent more runs in the powerplay. I think we failed to give our best today. We didn't perform well overall, so I don't think there is a need to talk to all the players, all the players are professional. Everyone knows their role well. We will try to learn from our mistakes so that we can avoid repeating these mistakes”.
