Team India started their Bangladesh series with a defeat by 1 wicket. The hosts did exceptionally well by bowling the visitors within 186 that too in 41.2 overs. However, India did give a tough fight and picked up 9 wickets within 136 runs but Mehidy Hasan Miraz played an unbeaten knock of 38 and sealed the deal for his side as well.

After the win, India captain Rohit Sharma said, “It was a very close game. We did pretty well to comeback into that position. We didn’t bat well. 184 wasn’t good enough, but we bowled pretty well and they held their nerve in the end. If you look back how we bowled right from ball one – of course we would have loved to bowl better at the end – but we bowled pretty well for 40 overs and took wickets. We just didn’t have enough runs. Another 25-30 runs would have helped. We were looking at 240-250 after the 25-over mark. When you keep losing wickets it is difficult.”

However, he also added that they will need to understand how to play on such pitches. He further added that excuses shouldn’t be there as they used to play on those wickets. The captain also assured that they will look forward to do well in the next game.

“We need to learn and understand how to play on such wickets. No excuses for us because we are used to these wickets. I don’t really know how much they can improve in a couple of practice sessions. I feel the genes are there and it’s only about handling pressure. I am sure these guys will learn and we look forward to the next game. Hopefully we can change things around. We know exactly what we need to do in these conditions,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
