What do you think is a major factor in India’s victory over Pakistan?
“I don’t know much about it because this is my first game, and honestly, I don’t pay attention to all those who speak India-Pakistan, there’s nothing like that to me, I just focus on my job-my duty is for a bowl, and that’s what I do,” Goud told reporters in a post-match press conference.Kranti’s journey at R R Premadasa Stadium has been incredible, changing from an incredible debut to get a player in the same place.“I’m very happy.India fought first and recorded 247 running in the 50 over allocated. Their bowling attacks later rejected Pakistan for 159 to walk in 43 overs.“The Batters found it difficult to face us, they struggled fast, and the ball swung both ways, which is why we decided to continue with the same player for longer spells,” he said.“When I came to my second spell, Harman (Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur) said, ‘It’s an old ball now, let’s take out the slip.’ But I told him, ‘No, let me bowl with slip now – I think I can get the goal here.’ And that’s what happened – I got a second goal.
