Losing
skipper
MS
Dhoni
said:
“Batting
first
was
not
a
very
good
idea.
It
was
tough
to
hit
the
faster
bowlers
in
the
first
half.
It
was
coming
on
better
in
the
second
half.
Sai
bowled
very
well
in
the
middle
overs.”

On
changes
to
the
team,
Dhoni
added:
“Had
it
been
earlier
in
the
tournament,
it
would
have
been
a
tactical
move
to
have
Shivam
in.
Had
we
sent
him
ahead
it
would
have
defeated
the
purpose
of
playing
Jaggi
today.
We
wanted
him
to
spend
time
in
the
middle.”

On
junior
Malinga,
Dhoni
said:
“With
Pathirana,
the
margin
of
error
is
slim.
He’s
got
a
good
slower
one
and
it
will
be
tough
to
hit
him
if
he
bowls
consistent
pace.
We
will
look
to
give
people
chances.”

Meanwhile,
Mohammed
Shami
said:
“In
the
afternoon
games,
it
is
important
to
maintain
the
right
lengths.
The
length
balls
aren’t
easy
to
hit
and
it
is
important
to
maintain
that
and
keep
it
simple.
We
have
our
plans
and
touchwood
it
keeps
continuing.

“It
is
not
easy
to
maintain
the
bond
in
a
new
franchise.
But
we
are
enjoying
and
crossing
the
line.
Thanks
to
the
support
staff
for
making
it
all
easy.
When
you
lose,
you
do
get
hurt
but
you
should
look
to
better
your
form.”

Winning
captain
Hardik
Pandya
said:
“You
don’t
get
extra
points
for
finishing
early,
so
it
is
important
to
win.
(On
his
captaincy)
I
did
alright
because
having
played
in
the
previous
franchise
where
a
lot
of
responsibility
was
given
to
the
players.
I
have
enjoyed
responsibility
and
it
has
helped
me.”

On
Ashish
Nehra,
Pandya
added:
“Doing
what
have
done
in
the
past
has
helped.
Ashu
pa(Ashish
Nehra)
and
me
are
very
similar
in
mindsets.
We
connect
without
saying
much.”

On
possible
team
change
for
last
league
match,
Pandya
said:
“We’ll
see
if
any
player
requires
rest
otherwise
we
need
to
keep
the
momentum.
The
core
group
needs
to
be
intact.
If
fast
bowlers
need
rest,
we’ll
rotate
otherwise
it’ll
stay
the
same.”

Player
of
the
match,
Wriddhiman
Saha
said:
“I
have
been
playing
for
so
long.
But
this
setup
takes
care
of
the
group.
I
didn’t
play
the
initial
games
but
executed
my
plans
when
I
got
a
chance.
We
were
not
chasing
a
big
target.
So
I
took
my
chances
in
the
powerplay
and
then
there
was
no
need
to
take
chances
as
the
required
rate
was
under
six.”

On
the
conditions,
Saha
added:
“We
saw
when
we
were
bowling
that
the
odd
ball
stopped.
So
I
thought
of
taking
my
chances
initially
before
taking
it
easy.
My
role
in
the
team
is
to
play
my
natural
game
in
the
first
six
overs.
After
that,
my
strengths
are
to
be
backed,
be
it
playing
the
sweep
or
charging
down.”
