“Collective efforts will have to be made and that is what we are looking for,” he said. Some of the things that I am saying that we can improve are a collective effort. You might have seen some particular overs from some of our bowlers in the past but then we are not putting it together as a unit. So, there is discussion how to do it as a team, and how to do it as a bowling unit,” Unadkat said in the pre-match virtual press conference.
The left-arm pacer said, “The discussion remains the same for the death overs or the power-play, we have to do it as a collective unit and that is something we are aiming for and hopefully we can do it.” Will fix it in the next game.” ,
