Following the second ODI, India skipper Rohit Sharma said his thumb ailment ‘isn’t that great. A lack of a fracture was another thing he was able to ascertain.
In the second one-day international in a three-game series, India skipper Rohit Sharma displayed great bravery by batting despite having an injured thumb. Fans were thrilled to see the India captain in fine form, and Rohit’s unbeaten knock of 51 runs was a highlight, even though it wasn’t enough to prevent India from losing the series by 5 runs. On the other hand, the Hitman was pressed for details about the severity of his back ailment during the postgame presentation ceremony. His latest report wasn’t exactly encouraging.
Let’s be honest, the thumb isn’t all that fantastic. I had some dislocation in my finger, but no fracture, so I came in to bat,” he explained.
Rohit was quite dissatisfied with how India let Bangladesh reach 271 after being 6 down for 69 when asked about the game’s positives and disadvantages.
When a game ends in defeat, there are good and bad things to take away from it, in my opinion. The bowlers did a poor job, going from 70 for 6 to letting them reach 270 or thereabouts. We’re struggling in the middle overs and the latter stages of games, just like we did in the first. Our attention must be on our own responsibilities without diminishing those of Mehidy and Mahmudullah. On the other hand, it is important that we learn to end partnerships when necessary.
“Partnerships like the ones those men put together are crucial in one-day cricket. Partnerships should be increased to 100–120 runs once you reach 50–70 runs. However, there are many possibilities to explore, and he urged his audience to “be a little more courageous and take more chances.”
India had just lost their second ODI series in a row in Bangladesh. The team would have only one more One-Day International to play and then give it their all in the next Test series.
