It was a terrific effort from our batters, however bowlers had been fairly not there. There are issues we have to have a look at,” a dissatisfied Rohit stated on the presentation ceremony.
“We all know it is a high-scoring floor. You’ll be able to’t loosen up even when you get 200. We took wickets to an extent, however they performed very well. They performed some extra-ordinary pictures. If I used to be in that altering room, I might count on to chase that whole. You’ll be able to again your self to get 60 runs within the last 4 overs. We weren’t capable of take their wicket,” he added.
This loss is sort of just like India twin losses to Pakistan and Sri Lanka within the Tremendous 4 stage of the Asia Cup earlier this month.
