GT coach said that the leadership felt that the fourth stimulator on the track in Ahmedabad needs to feel in the second shift and felt things could be different if they lost a few goals soon.
“We were not part of our XI playing. We wanted to see the situation. We always did it. In the last game, when two goals fell early, came and detonated. For our team it is a lot to know the situation and understanding the conditions. We felt we could need a fourth sailor in the second shift.
“You won’t experiment because of that”
Patel also said that GT would not experiment for this and stick to the evaluation plan of each game individually.
