New Delhi, Apr 19 (ANI): Mumbai Indians showcased a dominant performance to defeat Delhi Capitals by 40 runs in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground on Thursday. Post match, Mumbai Indians' all-rounder Krunal Pandya spoke to mediapersons and praised Hardik Pandya's power pack performance. He said, "When I went inside and when Hardik came, we were not aiming 170. We were aiming around 145 and it was a good total on the wicket but like the way Hardik batted and he scored a strike rate at 200 almost. So, it changed the momentum for us. The bowling we knew and the wickets. We bowled on second number and it helped. When Hardik was outside due to his injuries or because of some issues for 7-8 months, he worked on his fitness really well. And, Hardik is one such player whose priority is and will be cricket and I am saying it because I know him personally since childhood. What I like most about Hardik is his never giving up attitude."
