“The players who batted for a time told us that it was sluggish and stuck in the pitch.
A decent ball with a long back squatted somewhat. We will use those variations even if it was a decent wicket. (on dew) Nothing yet, but I’m hoping our bowlers carry out the strategies we’ve been discussing over the last few days. (on Hardik) He bowls well; the bouncer is faster than you may think.
He has good length retention. I hope our bowlers follow suit. (on his hitting 3000 IPL runs) To be honest, I was unaware of it. “It’s a great privilege to have played in the IPL for so long, and milestones will come when you play for so long,” David Miller said during the mid-innings interview.
