I think we need to stick to hard lengths - Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad opened up about his innings with the bat and stated that it was a tough wicket. He praised Abhishek Sharma for his knock and advised his bowlers to bowl good lengths and keep the things because there is lot of help in wicket. He stated:

"It was pretty much tough, the first 15 balls I played, I didn’t even middle a single ball. Wicket was slightly tough, me and Abhishek talked that we should take our time and then go for our shots and it worked.

"He took on the spinners really well, we talked about maintaining our shape while playing our shots, the wicket was slightly two-paced, some balls were skidding and some were holding up. I think we need to stick to hard lengths, stick to good lengths, just Test match lengths, keep it simple and try to hit the top of off," he concluded.
