In a hunt like this, you should always plan ahead. After the game, Pandya remarked, “I always knew there was one young bowler (Naseem Shah or Shahnawaz Dahani) and also one left-arm spinner (Nawaz).
“We only needed seven runs off the final over, but I would have been on myself even if we needed 15.” In the 20th over, I am aware that the bowler is under greater pressure than I am. “I try to keep things simple,” the top all-rounder for India, remarked.
