‘Didn’t put enough points on board’ – Rohit Sharma on Team India loss
Rohit Sharma seemed disappointed with the batting unit for their dismal performance on Sunday. He feels regular wickets in the top order put the hosts on the back foot.
Speaking on the post-match show, he said:
“If you lose a game, it’s just disappointing, we didn’t apply with the bat. We didn’t put enough runs on the board. It wasn’t a 117 wicket. We didn’t apply. . We never allowed ourselves to get the races we wanted.”
He added:
“Once we lost Shubman in the first round, Virat and I got 30-35 runs. But then I lost my wicket and we lost a couple of wickets in a row. That put us on the back foot. That’s always difficult to come back from this situation.”
