“We really need to see if we need to make some difficult calls, or if we need to keep continuing and hope that we turn things around,” Pandya said after the match. “These are some hard questions, which eventually we need to answer, and the ownership has to be taken.

“I don’t have much to say right now. I think we really need to go back to the drawing board and see where we are lacking. Is it individuals, is it as a group, is it as planning? We will figure it out and see what we can do next.”

At the same time, Pandya credited the opposition for beating them in all three facets of the game.

“I think you need to give credit to them as well. The ball started reversing, and at that same time, the dew didn’t come,” he said. “In the second innings, the dew came and the pitch got slightly better. But having said that, they just outplayed us: they bowled better, they batted better, and they fielded better definitely, and that cost us the game.”
