Chahal, who is known for his witty personality asked about the performances of the players in a chat filled with laughter and banter.
Plan was to bowl outside Imad Wasim’s zone: Axar Patel
Axar was questioned concerning the pivotal over against Wasim during a lighthearted and enjoyable conversation.
“The plan was to not bowl in his range, as it was windy, so I didn’t want him to hit six in the mid-wicket. That’s why I spoke to the Captain & told him that I need a point so that I can put it in the cut because the shot is also very difficult, it’s okay if it’s hit, otherwise it was very difficult. That’s why I tried that,” Axar said in the video posted by the BCCI on their social media handle.
I was only trying to hit with a positive mindset: Rishabh Pant
After hitting 42 runs off of 31 balls against Pakistan, Rishabh Pant discussed his important partnership with Axar. Axar was put to bat at number 4 spot following the Indian openers’ early wickets, and he and Pant shared a crucial 39-run stand.
“There was nothing in my mind as such. Was just trying to hit with a positive mindset and keep it simple. The India-Pakistan match is always packed with pressure. When Baapu (Axar) came, he practiced at 3-4th position in IPL. So when your mate comes in you get comfortable, as we were getting comfortable without thinking about anything,” Pant said.
