After the Cape Town Test, Rohit Sharma received the Test reins from Virat Kohli. Rohit, who got two victories against Sri Lanka and two against Australia as captain, suffered his first defeat in the third Test. Rohit Sharma became the second captain to win the first four Tests as India’s captain. Earlier, the Indian team won the first four Tests under Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy and drew the fifth Test…
Despite winning the first four Tests under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India got a shock in the Indoor Test. The Indian team, who lost the toss and won the matches in the first 2 matches, made a huge mistake by winning the toss and choosing to bat in the third test…
The Indoor Test was completed in exactly six and a half sessions. The Indian team lost in a total of 1135 balls, the worst record at home. Earlier in Kanpur in 1951-52 season, Team India defeated England by 1459 balls. Indian batsmen did not play at least 1150 balls in this match…
There are many reasons for losing a Test match. Especially in the first innings we did not bat well. If they had scored at least 200 runs in the first innings, the result of the match would have been different. The 80-90 runs they got in the first innings changed the result of the match…
We could not score as much as we wanted in the second innings as well. A lead of only 75 runs was achieved. If he had played well in the first innings, the scene would have changed. Didn’t qualify for the World Test Championship final but we still have a chance…
We will win the Ahmedabad Test and reach the final. We did what we had to do to win the first two Tests. We know what to do to score runs no matter the pitch. It is not difficult to get runs if you show a little courage and a little aggression..
The bowlers worked hard. They were the reason for the victories in the first two Tests. The performance is not coming from some players in the team. If they also join hands, winning is not a big problem. We decided before the start of the series what the pitch would be like.
We know how the pitch is going to be. We said earlier that batters should be ready for any challenge. It was a team decision. It is not correct to say that we lost because of the pitch. Most of the shot selection was not right, including me… Our batting mistakes are the reason for this defeat…
People don’t want to watch five-day Tests. Tests are not going on for five days even abroad. Tests in South Africa ended in 3 days. If the tests are going on for 5 days in Pakistan, people feel bored. We want to do something a little more interesting. That’s what we are doing.. said Team India captain Rohit Sharma..
