India’s task became more difficult as Arshdeep Singh conceded 27 runs in the last over. Kaneria said, “Hardik did not change the bowlers at the right time. There was no sign of intelligence. Shivam brings Mavi to the ball very late. Mavi should have been allowed to bowl much earlier. Deepak Hooda could have been used a bit more. There was a spin on the pitch. Hardik had no plan.”
