These things can happen at times – Rohit Sharma

Rohit said after the match, “Nothing special. As a team, I would just say that we keep ensuring we do the right things. We want to try our best in bowling and batting in these kinds of situations. We were largely successful, but we shouldn’t have lost wickets at the end.” He added that the players were trying to put pressure on the bowlers and that such things can happen at times.

‘We made a fantastic comeback’

Rohit Sharma said, “We all knew we were playing in this format after a long time. Still, from the beginning, we played as expected. They got a good start, but the way we came back was fantastic. We wanted a left-handed batsman in the middle. We know they will spin the ball back towards the left-handed batsmen, so we wanted a left-handed batsman.”

Praised Gill and Axar

He said that Gill and Axar batted brilliantly in the middle. Regarding his own batting, he said, “I just want us to keep doing the right things as much as possible. It’s a long format, you have chances to come back. When things start to go a little away from you, it doesn’t mean things will keep going away from you.”
