They have to change their mindset. In between matches and tournaments, we can’t change technique. Jay Bista is regulating a lot of bottom palm and (Akhil) Herwadkar mostly gets out in a slips,” a manager noted. Panchal credited his team’s feat to Gujarat brave and India wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel’s mentoring. “It’s a really large thing for us to kick Mumbai during a Wankhede. We had motionless to play positively. Parthivbhai plays a really critical purpose in building this team. He had taught us to be streetmart,” pronounced Panchal.
