Rohit Sharma, who’s Bharat’s designated skipper, rested himself along Virat Kohli to gauge the kids forward of the Asia Cup and Global Cup.
All over the post-match presentation, Pandya expressed his sadness with the best way the batsmen approached their innings, conceding wickets simply and failing to stick to the supposed recreation plan.
“We didn’t bat the way we were supposed to. The wicket was better than it was in the first game. Everyone barring Shubman Gill hit (towards the) fielders and got out. Disappointing, but there are many things to learn. The way our openers batted, especially Ishan (Kishan) who struck it well, it is good for India. Shardul (Thakur) got us back in with his bowling. (Shai) Hope and (Keacy) Carty batted well and got them through,” mentioned Pandya.
Bharat have been bundled out for 181 in 40.5 overs, with Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd claiming 3 wickets each and every to place Bharat below force.
Windies skipper Hope upcoming led from the entrance within the run-chase with an unbeaten 63 , neatly supported by way of Carty, who contributed 48 now not out.
“To be honest, you want to be going 1-1 to the third game, as it’ll be more challenging and exciting,” Pandya added.
Speaking about his personal match-fitness, particularly in terms of bowling, Pandya prompt that he’s now not in a rush and hopes to accident the height nearer to the Global Cup.
“(My) body is fine. I have to bowl more overs and get my workload up for the World Cup. I’m a turtle right now, not the rabbit, and hoping everything goes right as the World Cup comes on,” the all-rounder mentioned.
