Suryansh Shedge was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times: “I think it's not just us who are doing blunders. That can happen to any franchise, and that has happened in the past. So, I don't think we should be paying attention to that because when we were winning games, we were grabbing all the chances. We were the same players, right? We were the same team.
