The ground area is small and the pitch has become better, so we will also catch up. In the IPL, you score 264 runs and then lose, but it is a long game. We played a good game with the bat and ball; if we had taken the chances, the result would have been different. You need to keep working hard. Even our best fielders will catch the ball, so luck is not on us.” Side, but we can’t sit there and think about it. We have two fast bowlers – Chameera and Jamison – playing. We have to come out on the power play. Although Mukesh is doing well, he needs a break and we are bringing in international bowlers. “
