Aur do matches hai usmein koshish karenge kuch accha karne ki: Hardik Pandya
“Dekho sir, pinpoint nahi kar sakte. Unke time pe bhi ek over mein 24-25 run aye, usse kuch farak nahi padta. Bilateral series hai, aur do matches hai usmein koshish karenge kuch accha karne ki. (See, we can’t pinpoint on any over, they also conceded more than 20 runs in an over. There are still two matches in the series, so we will make a comeback),” Hardik added.
