I bowled a lot of sliders and bowled quicker in the previous matches. Today, I changed my seam position today. Spinning and getting the ball to dip are my strengths. Today I tried to get it to turn and bowl slower. I tried to bowl to my strengths, I focused on that. When batters try to reverse-sweep, it becomes tough for the bowlers. But now I have a second plan and set fields accordingly. I didn't bowl well in the previous game, the coach asked me to back my strengths. The ground there (Rajkot) is bigger.
Man-of-the-Match: Yuzvendra Chahal (4-0-20-3)
As a collective, it wasn't our best effort. They were better. With the ball, they put us under pressure. The fielding really didn't back us up. With the batting, we didn't really pitch up. The partnerships weren't there, there was no momentum. There have been a lot of improvements in the fielding department, this game wasn't up to the mark, in the first two games we were quite strong. Thoughts coming out to bat, we tried to assess, tried to get some momentum, unfortunately, we couldn't do that. Losing three early wickets always puts us under pressure. Quinton is an integral member of the team. Unfortunately, we don't have him. We back Reeza at the top. The opportunity is there, we'll keep going with Reeza.
