Speaking after the match, captain Rohit Sharma said, “In this second one-day match, we wanted to perform as we thought and win. But we failed to do that today.
Couldn’t win this match due to some reasons. That’s one thing I would say to our teammates. That is, you have to adapt to what is in front of you. Left-right, we felt it would be a bit easier to rotate the strike. We will correct such mistakes in the coming matches.
The reason I scored 64 in the match was because of the way I batted. When I bat like that I have to take risks and I’m not afraid to do that. Whenever you go out, you should try to bring 100, 50 to the team. According to Rohit Sharma, we did not play proper cricket in this match and because of that we lost the game.
