The Indian team on the tour of Bangladesh have lost the ODI series after losing two consecutive matches. This is the second time that the Indian team has lost the ODI series against Bangladesh. It was an exciting match. In this, Bangladeshi batsman Mehandi Hassan led his team to 271 runs playing a brilliant century. After the match, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma while speaking said that our bowlers had not had a good effect. The bowlers gave them the chance to go from 69/6 to 271/7.
Speaking after the match, Rohit Sharma said: “(The thumb injury) was not good. There were some dislocations and some stitches. Luckily it wasn’t a fracture, so I was able to hit. When you lose a game, there are positives and negatives in it. Seeing them go from 69/6 to 271/7 was not a good effect of the bowlers. We started well but the middle overs and the back end we struggled a lot. The same thing happened in the last match as well. This is something we should work on. Mehdi and Mahmudullah’s partnership was great, but we must also find ways to break such partnerships.
He further said: “In ODI cricket it’s all about partnerships and when you get them, you have to make sure they turn into match-winning partnerships. That’s what he did. If you make a 70-run partnership, then you have to make it a 110-120-run partnership for the team to win the game because it’s not easy for a new batsman. There is a need to be brave in the middle order.
There are some concerns about the injury, we have to get to the bottom of it. They need to test and monitor, because it’s important to understand. When he comes to play for India, he should be more than 100 per cent ready. We need to monitor their workload as we can’t see medium-fit players playing for India.”
