Let's deal with the present, everyone is going on about the pitches, but you cannot get what you want all the time. As a professional athlete, you need to adapt. For me, personally it is about staying in the present and dealing with what is in front of us as a team," he added.Hardik Pandya starred with the bat as all-rounder smashed unbeaten 40* to carry his team over the victory line.
