Hardik was telling me to bat till the 18th or 19th over, and get to a score of 185 or so.”

“After the end of the 16th over, we had a chat about taking it deep. It was important to maximize the last few overs. Have been doing the same things over and over again, in the nets and it’s just coming off for me.”
