Hardik Pandya said in the press conference, ‘First of all, who is saying what outside does not matter at this level. This is my team, the coach and I will play whatever side we want and whatever side we want. There is a lot of time, everyone will get a chance and when they get a chance, they will get a long one. If there would have been a bigger series, more matches, obviously there would have been more opportunities. It was a short series. I do not believe in much change and will not do so in the future.
Hardik Pandya says, ‘Like I wanted a six bowling option and that thing has come in this tour. As Deepak Hooda has bowled. Little by little, if such batsmen keep chipping in, then you will have a lot of opportunities to surprise the opposition team by using new bowlers.
He further said, ‘To be honest, I keep things simple. Whether I captain in a match or a series, I will lead the team in my own way. Whenever I was given a chance, I played the kind of cricket that I know.
