After hurting win, Mandeep Singh reveals focus was on implementing plans

‘We were thinking about to focus on our process rather than thinking too much about the result,’ Mandeep said.

Harare

: After guiding his side to a comprehensive 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second T20, Indian opener Mandeep Singh on Monday said his side focused on implementing the plans rather than the result, which helped them level the three-match series 1-1 at Harare Sports Club.

Mandeep (52) smashed his maiden T20 half-century and shared an unbeaten 103-run opening stand with KL Rahul in their side's chase of 100-run target.

We were thinking about to focus on our process rather than thinking too much about the result. Obviously, we want to win the series, but if we always think about winning then it will be like building up pressure. So we were trying to focus on the process. We have played five games now on this wicket. We discussed few points and I think we have implemented it today really well. So that was the main thing,-" Mandeep told the media following the win.

Admitting that the two-run defeat in the series opener was 'hurting', the 24-year-old said that his side discussed on their weaknesses after the previous game and worked upon them.
