one of the best that I have seen in Indian conditions by an overseas batter,” Rohit Sharma said in the post-match presentation.“I thought 230 was gettable, there wasn’t too much in the pitch to do something better. We didn’t bat well enough to get to the score in the match. I went and checked where we bowled, we bowled in the right areas at the right time. When you finish the day, you analyze what went well and what didn’t go well,” the Indian skipper said.
“The bowlers executed the plans well, but you’ve got to take your hat off and say well played to Pope. That was some serious knock,” Rohit added.
“We didn’t bat well enough to get to that score which we have predicted. I wanted them (Siraj and Bumrah) to take the game to the fifth day. (With) 20-30 runs, anything is possible. The lower order fought well there and showed the top order that you need to fight it out. You need to show character, you need to be brave enough although I thought we weren’t. We wanted to take some chances, we didn’t take chances with the bat. But that can happen. It’s the first game of the series, I hope the guys can learn from that,” Rohit said.
