IND vs SA: Statement
Axar: It means everything for me. When I came to this WC – last few years I’ve been getting injured, not getting that performance. I wanted to do something for India. Feeling proud. I tried to keep it simple. Just thought of it as another match. That worked for me. When I went to bat, I didn’t think of what’ll happen if I get out. Rohit is an amazing match. He led India very well in this tournament.
Rahul bhai asked us to enjoy, not take pressure. I thought I’m going down the order. When we lost three wickets, Rahul bhai suddenly asked me to pad up. Didn’t have time to think about batting and it helped me.
Hardik Pandya: It means a lot. Very emotional, we’ve been working very hard and something was not clicking. But today we got what the whole nation wanted. More special for me, how my last 6 months were, I haven’t spoken a word. I knew that if I kept working hard I could shine and do what I could do.
Getting an opportunity like this makes it more special. We always believed, it was just about executing our plans and staying calm and letting the pressure come to them. Credit to Jassi (Bumrah) and the other bowlers for those last 5 overs. Knew it would not help me if I wasn’t calm, wanted to commit 100% to every ball I’ve bowled.
I’ve always enjoyed pressure. Very happy for him (Dravid), he’s been a wonderful man, really enjoyed working with him, to give him a farewell like this is wonderful, have had a very good relationship with him and became friends. Very happy for all the support staff. (Rohit walks over and gives Pandya a kiss)
