After the victory, Captain Hardik expressed happiness over the team’s performance, told what was the strategy against Puran

Hardik Pandya’s statement after winning the third T20 match: In the 5-match T20 series being played between India and West Indies, finally Team India was able to open its winning account. After losing the first two matches, the Indian team won the third match by 7 wickets. The target of 160 runs was chased by the Indian team at the loss of 3 wickets in 17.5 overs. After the victory in this match, Captain Hardik Pandya also spoke openly about the strategy of the team. At the same time, he also gave a statement about Nicholas Pooran during this period.

Nicholas Pooran’s bat was seen speaking fiercely in the first 2 matches of this series from the West Indies side, but he could not do anything special in the third match. Regarding this, Captain Hardik Pandya spoke openly about the strategy made against him. At the same time, he also defended his decision to play with 7 batsmen.

After winning the third match, Hardik Pandya said that as a group, we have decided to play with 7 batsmen. We have to take responsibility, as happened today. If batsmen score runs then you don’t need anyone at number 8, as Surya just said. It is good to have someone like Sky in the team and when he takes responsibility, it gives confidence to others.

Victory or defeat does not change our plans

Captain Hardik Pandya further said in his statement that as a group we had talked that these 3 matches are going to be very exciting for us. 2 We were not going to change our plans due to defeat or victory. We proceed according to the long term plan. In such matches, we have to show ourselves ready. Nicholas Pooran did not come forward to bat in this match and we got a chance to bowl Akshar Patel for 4 overs. We had planned that if he wants to kill then hit me, I like that kind of competition. I know he must be listening to this and will come to the ground ready for the next match against me.
