IND vs IRE | Ruturaj Gaikwad had a calf niggle so batting order was changed , reveals Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya revealed the reason behind it saying Ruturaj had a calf niggle and so everyone went one place up in the batting order. 

"Ruturaj had a calf niggle, and we had a chance to send him out by taking some risk. But I was not okay. For me a player's health is more important, the match will take care of itself. So we didn't make much of a change, whatever everyone's number was we went one place up. And it was not much of a headache. It was important to make sure Rutu was not put under much risk and take much of a chance with him,” Pandya said in the post-match press conference. 

Earlier in the match, India started well as they reduced the hosts to 22/3 but a half-century from Harry Tector helped them recover. The team was heading for a total around 120 but Indian bowlers bowled in the right areas at the back end to restrict them from doing so. Bhuvneshwar Kumar troubled batters with his wing while Yuzvendra Chahal also bowled a brilliant spell and both of them picked a wicket each. Pandya praised both the bowlers for their contribution.
