Pandya showed where it had already happened
According to Pandya, he scored 15 more runs depending on the type of bowlers he has. Some bad balls were bowled in the middle overs. Also, Pandya said he thought the second innings would get foggy but it didn’t. As a result, the ball kept getting stuck on the Chennai pitch and eventually Gujarat lost. However, Gujarat still have one more chance and this team knows how to make a comeback.
