Very pleased. Came here, wanted to achieve something as a group in white ball. We were here last time and were beaten, I remember that. Not an easy place to come and win games. It was a good pitch, but we do understand it's not going to be easy if we lose wickets upfront. Positive side of it, these guys haven't batted much in the middle overs. Today we got to see that with Hardik and Rishabh. At no point we felt they were panicking. They backed themselves and played cricketing shots. He's a critical member for us (Chahal). Has got so much experience bowling in all formats. Pretty pleased with how he's come back after the WC. Hardik as well. One side boundary was long, he kept bowling the bouncers and got rewards for it. Not really (Worried about top-order?). To be honest, the wicket didn't have much. We played some not so good shots. Still back those guys to come out good.
I thought we were short. Needed a good start which we got actually (with the ball). Throughout the whole summer so far we haven't batted our best. He's been brilliant (Topley). Delighted to see him doing so well. It's been a tough schedule. Will probably have to look after him (Topley bowling 7 overs). Half-chance with Pandya as well, along with the stumping. If we took our chances, with India's tail, could've got hold of the game.
I always feel I'm shameless as a bowler. Don't care how far I get hit: Hardik Pandya
White ball is something close to me. We all know such a good team England is. For us as a team it was important for us to come here, set out the plans what we'll bowl. Important for me to stop the runs, bowl as many dot balls. They were cruising at one point. I love short balls. Don't fancy people taking me on. Gets me into the game. Don't mind getting hit for six sixes also if I can get a wicket. That's his game as well, he takes his chances. I always feel I'm shameless as a bowler. Don't care how far I get hit. We all know what talent he has. Finally today he was playing the situation. The partnership changed the game for us. The way he finished the game was also special.
Hopefully I remember (this knock) for the rest of my life: Pant
Hopefully I remember (this knock) for the rest of my life. I was focusing on one ball at a time when I was batting. When your team is under pressure and you bat like that .. something I aspire to do. I always enjoy playing in England, at the same time enjoy the atmosphere and the situation. The more you play the more experience you gain. Nothing to take away from the bowlers, it was a good wicket to bat on and the bowlers did a commendable job to restrict them, they were brilliant not only today but for the entire series.
