Opting to bat first, India were in a spot of bother after losing four wickets for 90 runs in the 11th over. That’s where both Suryakumar and Hardik came together as the duo put on 60 runs for the fifth wicket that propelled the Men in Blue to 181/7.
“The last two years we’ve played T20s here, so we understand the conditions and planned accordingly,” Rohit said after the game. “Everyone came in and did their job, that’s critical and we dwell on it. SKY and Hardik’s partnership was critical at that point, we needed someone to bat deep which they did,” he added.
In reply, the Indian bowlers were on the money right from the start as the opposition lost three wickets in the powerplay. Not to mention, Jasprit Bumrah was the most economical bowler with figures of 4-0-7-3. Heaping high praise on Bumrah, Rohit said, “We adapted well and got 180, which was a great effort from the batters. We had class bowlers who defended it perfectly.
