Hardik Pandya praises this player after winning the series
Expressing happiness over the series win, Hardik Pandya during the post-match presentation said, “I think he (Sky) has been surprising everyone in every inning that he has been batting. He is just telling us how easy it is to bat.
If I was bowling to him, I would have been disappointed watching him bat. Special mention to Rahul Tripathi – the ball was doing something but he showed amazing intent. Then Sky did its job.
The credit for the victory was given to all the players of the team.
Hardik Pandya further said, “You don't need to tell him (Akshar Patel) anything, he knows what to do. If there's a situation where he's unsure, we chat but more often than not, he knows what to do.
I am really proud of him (Akshar Patel), and the way he is batting down the order and hitting. This will give him and the team a lot of confidence as well. The aim of my life as a captain has been to support my players.
These are India's best T20 cricketers and that's why they are here. There is no room for doubt in this format and we are backing the players in the right way. The way we played in the series is pleasing, we didn't play even 50 percent of our game in the second game but still, we put up a good fight."
