“There were a lot of positives to take from our last match in Delhi, especially in the batting department. Mahipal Lormor coming good with the bat was probably the highlight of the match. We showed great consistency in the batting department,” said Bangar, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

My job is to play impactful innings and cameos: Lomror

Lomror stated that he enjoys playing impactful innings. The 23-year-old claimed he prefers to play on slow wickets, which often cause problems for the top-order batters. He also noted that the game is high-risk and that he is not expected to play long innings.

“My job was to try to score a boundary in every over. To put opposition bowlers under pressure, I took some risks and it paid off. I love playing on slow wickets because I get to play on the backfoot where I am quite strong. As per my role, it’s rare to score 50 or big runs. My role is to go down and disrupt the opposition’s bowling. It’s a high-risk game, so am not expected to play long innings. My job is to play impactful innings and cameos,” Lomror said.
