Expressing happiness over the victory, Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “I was confused at the time of the toss, I was feeling that I should bat first because it was a green pitch, but it was also dry. We had to guess the pitch in the beginning, I told Sanju Samson that the ball was not coming from the bat properly so a total of 200 would be better. Then the bowlers also performed brilliantly. Sanju is in great form.” Let us tell you that the toss was won by Hardik Pandya, he chose to bowl first.
