Rohit said, “We will try to perform better in Super-4. The way Hardik and Ishan Kishan batted after the fall of 4 wickets in the first match against Pakistan was brilliant. Our bowling was okay in today’s match but we could have done better. But the fielding was bad and with this we cannot play the World Cup or even the Asia Cup. This cannot be accepted. We have to improve it.”
Not very happy with my innings: Rohit
When Rohit was asked whether he was happy with his innings, he said that no, initially I was a little nervous. Once my eyes were set, I wanted to bat till the end. Regarding the flick sweep, he said that I had not played this shot intentionally. I wanted to play the ball over short fine leg but the ball went a little away after coming on the bat.
‘There is still a lot of work left to do’
On the question related to the World Cup team, he said, “When we came here, we knew who were going to be our 15 players for the World Cup? The Asia Cup was not going to give us a better picture as we had only two matches in the group stage. But luckily we got a chance to bat and bowl against Nepal in the first match. There is still a lot of work left to do. A lot of players are coming back from injury and they need time to get back into shape.”
