00:00There was no doubt in playing the wrong shots.
00:03The pitch was a bit slow.
00:06It was not easy to play the game.
00:09The batting was difficult to do.
00:11He also looked at the LSD innings.
00:13I think the pitch was not easy for batting to do that.
00:19How do you plan for the first season?
00:24How do you plan for the first season?
00:29It is very difficult to plan against someone like Nicholas Puran.
00:33Obviously, we have had our plans.
00:35But the game was uncertain.
00:37That situation that we had to attack.
00:39But sometimes you have to just tell him well played.
00:44That's exactly how he batted.
00:46We have seen him every time.
00:48If he gets going, it is very difficult to stop.
00:53What went well and what made you do?
00:56The opening partnership was outstanding.
00:58There is no doubt about it.
01:00Both Shubman and Sai Sudarshan have been phenomenal for us throughout this season so far.
01:05I thought Prasit Krishna has been bowling well.
01:07Mohamed Siraj has been bowling well today.
01:09It wasn't his day.
01:10What we need to improve upon is fielding.
01:16I think that's something that can change the result of the game.
01:22We have seen that so far in this tournament.
01:24But yeah, I think fielding is something we definitely would try and improve on.
01:29What the fight runs in the game.
01:31If you are playing outside of the game, you are lefty and lefty, so what are the fight going on?
01:36What they play well?
01:38They play well and play well.
01:39The consistency of the format doesn't get easy to show in this format.
01:42What I do like by fighting and the shots are also playing like that.
01:48here all the six sitting here
01:49talks about the conventional touch
01:51you see that
01:53and the strike rate is high
01:54which means that you play low risk cricket
01:57and play very good strike rate
01:58so that's why you see consistency
02:01how do you see
02:14see obviously
02:15that's why you try to
02:45I thought he bowled well today, even the last game also, he was getting back into his form.
03:11Today also, Ro obviously, he was the one who got us back into the game.
03:16He has that ability, someone like him who is a proven cricketer for so many years, so
03:23I don't think it's a concern for us at all, it's just that it just takes a game and to
03:28me in the last couple of games, he is getting into his old the way he was bowling.
