Team India has fallen to the second position with 4 points. The next two matches are crucial for Team India to reach the semi-finals. The Indian bowlers tied the opponent well in the beginning, but some blunders and poor fielding in the final stage led to the team’s defeat. Listen to what captain Rohit Sharma said after the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match.
“We felt there was something on the Perth pitch. Pacers have more success here, so chasing the target is not easy on this pitch. We scored few runs in the batting. Despite giving a fight, South Africa batted well. When we score 40 runs for the loss of 3 wickets after 10 overs, we should think that we are still in the match. It was a match winning performance from David Miller and Adam Markrum,” he said.
Explaining the reason for the team’s defeat, Rohit said, “We performed poorly in the fielding. We left a lot of opportunity to the opponent. Not a good game in this department. Our fielding in the last two matches was brilliant. However, there is a problem in continuing the same here. We missed some important run outs. We should correct these mistakes and learn from defeat,” he said.
Rohit, who clarified about bowling the 18th over to Ashwin, said, “I have seen what happens if the spinner is bowled in the last over. So I chose a different path. It was in the head that if Ashwin finished his over, the pacers would be able to bowl the right over. In some cases it is necessary to plan accordingly. That is the right occasion to bowl when a new batter comes in. But, David Miller hit the best shot,” said Rohit.
