He said,”If your batters aren’t going to post runs on the board, it will be difficult to win games. I personally accept that. We’re not able to execute in the middle, which is particularly disappointing,”
“We are not playing to our potential. Hopefully in the next two games, we play the way we are known for.”
Rohit said they knew that Sharjah “will be a difficult venue” and prepared in the best possible manner.
“We watched a lot of matches, and it’s not the easiest venues to play and make a lot of runs. We were well prepared and we knew what we had to do,” he said.
“I thought we didn’t bat well enough. We knew it wasn’t a 170-180 wicket, but we knew it was a 140 wicket. We just didn’t get the partnerships going.”
