India cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said on Sunday that his batting unit needs to improve to deal with spinners at bad pitches. In the match played at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on 4 December, Bangladesh recorded a thrilling one-wicket win over India. Mehidy Hasan Miraj and Mustafizur Rahman shared a 51-run partnership for the tenth wicket to snatch victory from India. Shakib Al Hasan took 5 wickets in this match. The Indian batsmen had a lot of trouble dealing with his slow balls. After this win, Bangladesh have gone 1-0 ahead in all three ODI series.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony after the match, Rohit Sharma said the pitch was a bit challenging. The ball was spinning a lot. You have to understand how to hit. Without excuses. We are used to such conditions. He further said that we have to think about how to bat against their bowlers in such conditions. These people have grown up playing in such conditions. It’s all about handling the pressure.
According to India team captain Rohit, there were not enough runs. If there had been 30-40 more races, we could have made the difference. We could have reached there via KL Rahul and Washington Sundar. But unfortunately we lost wickets in the middle. That’s why it hasn’t been easy to come back. Meanwhile, Rohit fiercely praised the bowlers of him. It was a very close match. We got back in the game very well. We don’t hit well. We played well and kept the pressure on the Bangladeshi batsmen until the last minute. According to the captain, if you look back on the game, we took wickets where we needed to.
