MI vs RR: Statement
Riyan Parag: Nothing has changed, just that I have simplified things. Before I would think about things too much, this year the goal is simple, watch the ball, hit the ball.
It’s a funny thing, I have said it before, this is the exact situation I go in to bat in domestic cricket. When Jos got out, I went in to bat, this is when I usually go out to bat.
For 3-4 years I haven’t performed well (in the IPL.) When the performances are not coming, you get back to the drawing board. I practised really hard, I have practised these kind of scenarios.
Dad likes to watch everything from home, he likes to analyse everything, but my mom is here.
Hardik Pandya | MI Captain: Yes, a tough night, we didn’t start the way we wanted to start.
I wanted to counter, we were in a decent position to get us around 150-160, but my wicket allowed them to get back more into the game, I needed to do a lot more.
It’s okay, we didn’t expect such a surface, but you can’t always have it as a batter, it’s nice at times for the bowlers to have a say. It’s all about doing the right things, (correct) results happen at times, at some other times it doesn’t.
As a group, we believe we can do a lot better, but we need to be a bit more disciplined and show a lot more courage.
