We have not played a good quality of cricket this season and it seems to have cost us dearly. There are good days and bad days in these cricket matches. But as a good cricketer, we should always put our feet forward towards victories.
I don’t think effort is the issue here, but I think as a team we haven’t been able to play quality cricket. Only when the results of the competition come will reflect that. This entire IPL series has not gone as we expected. Let’s pass this series and wait for the next season”, Hardik Pandya said after admitting the mistakes after the match.
