Rohit Sharma Reaction: India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the Bangalore Test. In this way, New Zealand team is ahead 1-0 in the 3 test match series. At the same time, after this defeat, Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed his views. He told where Team India went wrong? Rohit Sharma said that our batsmen played brilliantly in the second innings, but our batsmen disappointed in the first innings. If you fall behind by 350 runs in the first innings, then you don’t have much to think about. In such situations you have to go on the pitch and score runs.
‘Of course we got bowled out early in the first innings, but…’
Rohit Sharma said that our batsmen batted well in the second innings. There was a good partnership as well. It was a pleasant feeling to see those partnerships. Our batsmen could have been out cheaply in the second innings, but we are proud of the way we played. Especially, Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan… When Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan were batting, we all were sitting in our seats and enjoying. The style in which both the batsmen batted, they got success. Of course, we got bowled out early in the first innings, but showed good fight in the second innings.
‘It was not expected that we would be all out for less than 50 runs…’
Indian captain Rohit Sharma further said that the way Rishabh Pant bats, there is a lot of risk in his batting, but he showed a lot of maturity in this innings. He respected the good balls and let many balls go to the wicketkeeper, but continued to play shots on the bad balls. Also Sarfaraz Khan showed tremendous maturity. He was playing his fourth Test, but the way he batted was commendable. I had said in the press conference the other day that batting would not be easy in these overcast conditions, but it was not expected that we would be all out for less than 50 runs.
‘We lost in the first Test against England, but…’
Rohit Sharma says that the New Zealand bowlers presented brilliant bowling and did not give our batsmen a chance to open their hands. Such tests keep happening, but you have to move forward with positive things. Our players have gone through such situations. We lost the first Test against England, but won all four Tests after that. Now there are 2 Tests left in this series, we know where our players need to work. We will give our best in the next two tests.
