After this defeat, Indian captain Rohit Sharma also looked very disappointed but he also expressed hope that India has been successful in making a comeback in the series after such defeat earlier also, hence the same effort will be made this time too. Rohit said after the match, “We performed well with the bat in the second innings. We were not able to bat well in the first innings. So we knew what was going to happen next and some players were able to perform well.”
Speaking further, Rohit said, “When you are behind by 350 runs you can’t think too much about it, just have to play the ball on its merit. It was really exciting to see some partnerships. We could easily win cheaply.” Could have been out, but we are proud of our effort. Everyone is on the edge of their seats when they bat. Rishabh left a few balls and then played the shots. Sarfaraz also showed a lot of maturity.”
Concluding his talk, Rohit said, “I had said in my press conference that we knew it would be difficult in the beginning, but we did not expect to be out for 46 runs. New Zealand bowled well and we were able to respond to that.” We failed. We lost one match against England and then we know what is expected of each of us.
