He said, “But if the pitch here (Rajkot) is good, then our approach will also be slightly different in the bowling and batting department.” The captain expects a united performance from his team. He said, “The batsmen will need to do their job and the bowlers will have to get important wickets. Will play accordingly. We are not focusing on any one department. Because we were losers as a team, not individually.
