Speaking to broadcasters after the match, Hardik Pandya said, “Honestly, I don’t have much to say right now. I think we really need to go back and re-evaluate our strategy and see where we are going wrong. Is it because of one player? Is it because of the whole team? Or is it because of our lack of planning? We will figure it out before the next game and see what we can do next.”

Punjab did well in all departments – Hardik

Pandya added, “I think credit should go to Punjab for this win. The ball started to reverse swing. There was dew in the second innings, which made batting a bit easier, but despite that, they completely outplayed us. They outplayed us in batting and bowling and definitely fielded better. That’s why they got the win. I think we need to make some tough decisions to see if we just keep playing. We will improve in matches.”
