My match bat got broken in the first ODI which I was playing for the last three years, so the whole series, all these five games, I have been trying to figure out which bat I should bat with,&quot; said Pandya who hit two sixes to finish the match after India needed 14 in the last over from Australia pace bowler Daniel Sams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pandya said that he did not want to leave the game to the last ball and went for the big hits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I felt two big hits (would do), since the last couple of games I was not able to connect so I thought a few things before coming to this game, and happy with the way it turned out... More than the six I wanted to finish because I have seen a couple of games, wherewith 6 off 3 balls, the game can go to the wire and I wanted to finish the game early,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
