After the match, Rohit said that the score Sri Lanka put in front of them was worth it. You have to bat well to get that score. The opening partnership in the match was better. But, after 10 overs, trouble started with the spin attack of the Sri Lankan bowlers. We anticipated this. The conditions for playing shots on this pitch are low. We stayed at the crease and tried to play singles and shots when we could. But, unfortunately, we have been losing wickets consecutively. With the partnership of KL Rahul and Akshar Patel, we are confident that we will win again. Even though the idea was the same till the end, there was an unexpected development at the end. Rohit Sharma said that the batsmen could not play consistently at the crease.
