Bangladesh wicketkeeper batter Litton Das has praised Towhid Hridoy’s grit and discipline while mentioning how Hridoy’s approach gave him confidence.
“He (Hridoy) batted really well. The discipline he showed by leaving the ball gave me more confidence. Getting a couple of boundaries when I went to bat early gave me some rhythm, so we just normally thought about how long we could bat,” Litton said.
Litton also expressed how it was challenging initially when he went to bat, but once the ball was old enough, it became easier.
“I thought they bowled really well with the new ball. Especially in these conditions, the new ball is very challenging. When I go to bat, I still feel the spongy bounce is a little bit challenging, but after the ball is old, it will be easier to bat,” he added.
Furthermore, he mentioned how rotating strike was very important, especially against someone like Simon Harmer, and how they managed to execute their plans properly.
“The new ball is challenging, but after that, when Harmer came, the planning was normal. We had to rotate the strike. I know if you give him too much respect, he will damage us, so we just rotated the strike. When the pace bowler came, we just played according to the ball,” Litton concluded.
