“Going forward, if I’m not wrong, in two years, he’ll do something great for franchise cricket and eventually for India,” said Hardik at the post match presentation.
One of my happiest jobs is to talk to these young cricketers at the presentation. So confident and certain in the middle and so shy later. Very happy for Sai Sudarshan who played an innings of such composure today. And got a huge compliment from his captain
