What Surya said after the Match?
A top effort from Everyone on the field. A great Crowd from the Start till the end, they were always behind us and there was support from everyone. We didn’t want to go back after 10/3 and boys know what brand of Cricket we wanted to Play. Three wickets in one over, it was too much for us. But the way they batted, the way they responded, the positive intent they showed in the middle and the way Hardik and dube showed their experience, it was great. These guys, the way they Practice during net sessions, that are incredible. Post-drinks when Shivam dube didn’t come in, Harshit Rana came in as the third seamer and delivered it for us, that was incredible.
