Hardik Pandya would have 바카라fancied바카라 his chances even if India needed 15 runs rather than the seven that they scored in the final over to win their Asia Cup 2022 opener against Pakistan on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.

Pandya had a dream game, first taking 3 for 25 in 4 overs and then finishing the match with a six off Mohammed Nawaz, having scored 33 invaluable runs off 17 balls. 바카라In a chase like this, you always plan over-by-over,바카라 Pandya said after the match.   

바카라I always knew that there is one young bowler (Naseem or Shahnawaz Dahani) and also one left-arm spinner (Nawaz). We only needed 7 off the last over but even if we needed 15, I바카라d have fancied myself. I know the bowler is under more pressure than me in the 20th over.

바카라I try to keep things simple,바카라 said India's No. 1 all-rounder. As far as bowling is concerned, Hardik knew that he needed to mix the short balls and induce batters into making mistakes. 바카라In bowling, it's important to assess the situations and use your weapons.

바카라For me, bowling short and the hard lengths have been my strengths. It's about using them well and asking the right questions to make the batters commit a mistake,바카라 he said. India captain Rohit Sharma too knew that the match was under control and was all praise for Hardik.

바카라Halfway through the chase, we still knew that we can win irrespective of the situation. We had the belief and when you have that belief, these things can happen,바카라 Rohit said. For Rohit, Hardik is a man, who now knows what he needs to do in specific situations.

바카라Since the time he (Hardik) has made his comeback, he's been brilliant. When he was not part of the team, he figured what he needs to do to his body and his fitness regime, and now he is clocking 140+ easily.

바카라His batting quality we all know and it's been brilliant since his comeback. He is a lot calmer now and more confident about what he wants to do, whether it's with the bat or with the ball.바카라 That Hardik can bowl quick was on display on the day.

바카라He can bowl really quickly, we saw that today with those short balls. It was always about just understanding his game and he's doing that well now. In a high-pressure with 10 runs per over needed, you can panic but he never showed any of that,바카라 the skipper said.
