There were some bowlers we targeted, some against whom we were cautious. Nicky P (Nicholas Pooran) played a good innings, Hooda (Deepak) also. It ebbed and flowed. From the inside, you are always structuring. You are liking some bowlers, not liking others much,” mentioned Stoinis throughout the post-match presentation.
