“I’ve at all times loved bowling with the new ball,” Hardik had said in Ranchi. For quite a few years now, when I pick a ball in the nets, it’s always the new ball. I’m so accustomed to bowling with the old ball that I don’t feel the need to practice a lot with it. Whenever the team needs me to do the job, I can do my best. It has helped me personally. In the last game [the Indore ODI], when we had to rest our two main fast bowlers, I had to be ready. The pressure is not there when you prepare well.”
