Mumbai Indians charismatic allrounder Hardik Pandya notched up a 20-ball 35 not out at the Wankhede Stadium before capturing 2 for 19 to snatch the purple cap by becoming the leading wicket-taker with 14 scalps to his credit on Sunday. However, Soon after his Man-of-the-Match effort in Mumbai Indians’ crucial win over Kolkata Knight Riders, Pandya said he has stopped practising batting.
“I am not doing anything (different). It is just that someday it comes off. I have stopped practising (batting). I am someone who thinks differently. I am actually just being positive. It’s all about one hit, to be honest. You score one six and all of a sudden the momentum shifts and everything changes,” Pandya said when asked about his batting.
“Obviously if people bowl well I have (to) respect (them) and can’t do anything. No one can do anything. My game is something that I am positive (about) from my mind and it comes off,” he further added.
“The team is quite positive and we have to think that we are going to make it. As a team we believe that we can do this and we have done it in the past though it is a bit difficult to do it,” he concluded.
