What did Hardik Pandya say about Rohit Sharma?
During this, Hardik praised Rohit and said, Rohit Sharma and I have been playing together for a long time. He knows my personality and knows what I care about in cricket. Before throwing this ball, Rohit advised me to throw the wide ball to Klassen. I also knew that he would have thought that I was going to throw the ball at the stump, because his foot was next to the leg stump. So I knew that he would play shots in this way. I looked at them before taking the run-up and told myself, I will throw a slow ball, because we did not field that way. Because I wanted to cheat him. His way of killing the ball was very good. Klassen’s wicket made our victory easier. Team wins World Cup with Rohit’s master plan
