stick to your basics, don’t think too much

Ashish Nehra advises to stick to plans honestly
Mohit further said – I always had this belief. Ashish Nehra advised us to stick to our plans honestly. I tried to implement the plans. I also tried that the batsmen could not read what I was bowling. This attempt of mine was successful. Mohit Sharma, 34, has made a spectacular comeback this season. He played List A cricket last year and is now playing a big role in helping Titans win matches. Earlier, he had also taken 2 wickets for 18 runs against Punjab Kings.
