After the half-century, Pandya mostly tried to give strikes to Gill, who started smashing at the other end. In the post-match press conference, Pandya was asked by the media why Gill was handed the strike in the final overs despite being a devastating batsman. Hardika replied that what Dhoni did then, she is doing now.
‘I’ve always loved sexting. But such is life, it will continue to evolve. I believe in partnerships.
I don’t mind playing the role which #Dhoni used to play: #HardikPandya ????

So I always try to assure my batting partner that I am on the other side when I am at the crease. Because I have played more matches than anyone in the team right now. Therefore, with that experience, I can handle the pressure calmly.
I am also trying to replicate what Dhoni did as a finisher in the latter part of his career. Despite being a good finisher, Dhoni tried to rotate his strike and give his batting partner more opportunities. I also tried to play the same role.
Star India all-rounder #HardikPandya feels he has developed the ability to absorb pressure and doesn’t mind playing the anchoring role that the great #MahendraSinghDhoni played for the team. https://t.co/KhoE0BsKKz

I was young when I was playing in Dhoni’s time. Once on the ground, the method was to beat the talang and the handcuffs. But when Dhoni retired, the work he was doing suddenly became my responsibility. That’s not a problem for me. The important thing is to win the game. So there is no problem even playing a little slower,’ said Pandya.
Pandya also excelled in bowling as he took four wickets for 16 runs in the match. Pandya also held the record for the best bowling performance by an Indian captain in T20 cricket.
