Krunal Pandya conceded that it is indeed a blessing for any team to have pacemen, capable of clocking speeds up to 140 kph consistently. Hence, for any outfit to bowl with speed along with the ability to swing the ball, is extremely handy. Pandya added that the performance from the fast bowlers was special while not leaking too many runs in the middle overs also helped their cause.

The fast bowlers were special at the death, we didn’t concede that many runs and in between Chahar also bowled very well. So overall it was a very good team effort. It is a blessing that we have three bowlers who can bowl 140 kph consistently. So for any team to have three bowlers who can bowl quick and can swing the ball upfront as well is very good for them,” Pandya stated in the press conference.

“Happy the way I bowled today” : Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya, who dismissed Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane, with his left-arm spin, claimed that his strength has always been to vary the pace and felt glad to have executed well. He also underlined that gauging the particular situation and seeing batsmen’s strengths, who are in the middle, is equally essential.

Happy the way I bowled today. My strength has always been varying the pace and I was able to excute really well overall. Obviously, you have to see the batsman’s strength as well and the situation also, what they are going to do,” the 29-year old added.
