The Mumbai Indians batsman later revealed that Hardik emphasised the need for someone to take responsibility at the crease and he was happy to play a role. “It was running on the back of my mind (that India had never lost three T20Is in a row) but at the same time we spoke in the team meeting, our captain said someone needs to put their hand up and win the match, glad I was able to do that.”
