‘Games like these teach you a lot’: Rohit
A🍷t the post-match presentation, Team India captain Rohit sa๊id that it was one of those games where there was plenty to learn from.
“It was a close game but games like these teach you a lot. We had to build an innings under pressure. KL has been batting at five for a long period of time now and it gives us the depth. Gives you the confidence as well at the top of the order for us to go and bat freely,” he said.
“It was a good display of batsmanship. It’ll be nice to have a left-hander, but I don’t believe too much into it. Ideally we would like to have a left-hander, but we know the quality of the right-handers who are out there in the middle. They can tackle situations when put under pressure,” the 35-year-old added.
The third and last ODI between the two sides i𓄧s scheduled to be played on January 15 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananth🌃apuram.
