Hardik Pandya did well:
Speaking of the loss against Mumbai Indians, he credited the all-rounder Hardik Pandya for taking the game away from them. He lauded the skills of Pandya to smash those balls out of the park with such ease on a tough track.
“The pitch was offering turn and it wasn’t easy to score against the spinners. We bowled well till the 18th over (barring a) couple of bad overs in the Powerplay and still, there were two overs and 22 runs left. We had a chance on this track but Hardik did well,” said Chahal.
