Hardik Pandya : MS Dhoni's tips have helped me become a better finisher

“I had a chat with Mahi bhai.  He said, ‘'If you can take some time at the start, later on the runs are there to come’,” revealed Pandya. “The best part I have learned from him is when he shares his opinions and experience. I still remember one incident when I asked him how to finish games during the England (home) series.

“He said that you need to make sure you have to see (only the team’s score on) the scoreboard. You need to make sure you see the situations and play accordingly. That way I have noticed that you don’t have pressure on yourself. Because you want the team to win, that’s the motive. So you don’t have your own personal pressure that you have to do something special. You just have to focus on what you can do for the team and play according to the situation. That was a big tip which he gave me and which eventually helped me.”

"When the clouds are there, the ball is swinging and batsmen are in trouble. When it's bright and shiny, it's a flat track. It's the first time I have seen something like this," he said.
