So credit to Gujarat but, you know, we need to improve collectively as a group as a batting unit to get better results,” he added.
Agarkar further added, “We just need to apply for better and better performances. so no, again, you’re talking about two people who got heaps of runs. It’s about adjustment and these guys have done it before it’s not like they are playing for the first time.So we’re pretty confident that we get it right.”
The assistant coach also acknowledged that there is room for improvement in certain areas of the team’s game. However, he remains optimistic about the team’s prospects and believes that they can turn their season around with the right approach and mindset.
