Our discussions were mainly about keeping wickets in hand because that was the one way we could chase such a giant total.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the Powerplay, we spoke about whether we must always go after the bowling or not, but we comprehend it\u2019s challenging to attack against the brand new ball.
