Both were allowed to free our hands and that was very important: Pandya on batting with Shivam Dube
Talking about his batting, Hardik Pandya delved into playing according to the situation and then taking an aggressive approach. Speaking in the mid-innings interview, Pandya said, "Wicket looked alright, the par would have been 180, but we got 197 I think that is like a good score here. Hopefully with our bowling line-up, with a little consistency, we will be able to do well."
"He (Dube) had to take his time because his role was to take on the spinners, I think when the time came we both were allowed to free our hands and that was very important to us. It tends to get slower at the end, discipline and good bowling will be crucial."
