LONDON, UK – July 18 (ONLINE) Team India captain Rohit Sharma has said he is happy with team’s performance in ODI series against England, but ‘a lot of things need to be improved’, cricket website Cricinfo revealed Monday.
“To be honest, the wicket [at Old Trafford] didn’t have much. We played some not-so-good shots and that’s what cost us wickets. But I still back those guys to come out good because they have done it for a long time.
I’ve got nothing more to say since I understand the quality they bring to the team,” Sharma was quoted as saying by Cricinfo.
India had defeated the England side 2-1 in recently held ODI series.
“[We were] quite pleased chasing 260 – it was a good pitch, but we knew it won’t be easy if we lost wickets early,” Rohit said. “We didn’t want it to happen, but if you look at the positive side, a lot of these guys haven’t batted a long period in the middle overs, and we got to see that from Rishabh and Hardik. Both of them were clinical with the bat – at no point did we feel they were panicking. They backed themselves, played great cricketing shots, which was good to see.”
