Despite the defeat in the first game, Hardik remained calm and stressed that the team has 13 games left to turn things around.

“Obviously, we backed ourselves up to chase those 42 points (in the last five overs), but that was one of those days where we saw quite a few runs in the last five overs and we lost a little bit of momentum there,” Pandey Ya said during the game. Post-game presentation.

“It feels good to be back because it’s a stadium you can enjoy and feel the atmosphere is lively and obviously the crowd was packed and they played a good game too.” When asked about Varma’s refusal to play singles , the skipper said: “I think Tilak felt it was a better idea at the time. I fully support him. It’s not a problem, (we have) 13 games left.”
