Hardik Pandya, who scored 16 runs off 13 balls at a strike rate of 123.08 while chasing LSG’s target of 215, acknowledged the team’s overall poor performance throughout the season.

Speaking after the match, Pandya said, “Quite difficult. Did not play good quality cricket, eventually costed us the whole season. It’s a professional world. Have to always come out and put our best foot forward. But yes, as a group we could not play quality cricket or smart cricket. Too early to point out what went wrong. The whole season kind of went wrong. We can pass this game as another one (that went wrong).”
