“We would finish around 220 if Hooda continued and scored 20 more, and I scored 20 more. That is the 20 runs we lost, and that is what would have made the difference. Every game shows us how crucial it is to provide the bowlers an additional cushion since they are exerting a lot of pressure. We are not different from everyone else in that we love to hit the range and hit it everywhere. It’s a preparation step. Pooran and Stoinis are our big guns; they can make those huge shots. Rahul stated during the post-match press conference, “The other guys like us try to pick our areas and time the shots better.”
