India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that his workforce did not put sufficient runs at the board as India went down towards West Indies in the second one T20I.
India had been bundled out for simply 138 runs after Obed McCoy took a career-best 6/17 in his 4 overs in the second one recreation, which were given behind schedule by means of two hours because of the past due arrival of groups’ baggage. In answer, West Indies took the event deep and chased down the objective, with Brandon King scoring a 52-ball 68 and Devon Thomas hitting a quickfire 31 now not out off 19 balls.
Reflecting on India’s efficiency, Rohit, on the post-match presentation, mentioned: “It used to be now not sufficient runs at the board for us. We did not bat neatly. Pitch used to be taking part in rather effectively however we did not observe ourselves. However that may occur. I’ve mentioned time and again that when you’re attempting one thing as a batting workforce, it may not figure out all the time. We can attempt to see our errors and glance to proper them.”
With West Indies requiring 10 runs within the ultimate over, Rohit passed the ball to Avesh Khan as an alternative of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who bowled handiest two overs. The India captain stood by means of his choice, pronouncing: “It is all about giving alternative. We all know Bhuvneshwar, what he brings to the desk, but when you do not give alternative to Avesh or Arshdeep you are going to by no means in finding out what it method to bowl on the dying for India. They’ve carried out it within the IPL. Only one recreation, the ones guys do not want to panic. They want backing and alternative.”
Rohit added that he used to be happy with the workforce’s fielding effort. “If you end up protecting a goal like that, it might result in 13-14 overs otherwise you attempt to drag it to the final over. Guys saved combating, it used to be essential to take wickets. The making plans we did, the blokes got here and achieved. Pleased with bowlers, however there are particular issues within the batting we want to have a look at. I will be able to time and again say that we will be able to proceed to bat on this model as a result of we wish to succeed in one thing. One-off end result, should not panic. After one loss we may not alternate issues round.”
