Middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues urged India to move on from the forgettable defeat against New Zealand and focus on the upcoming matches, which she termed as crucial for her side's survival in the Women's T20 World Cup.
The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crashed to a heavy 58-run defeat against the Kiwis on Friday night, and the Women in Blue will now face cross-border rivals Pakistan on Sunday in the second Group A match.
This would be the game we would like to forget, because this is a World Cup. We need to keep moving on and keep picking ourselves up. We can't stay stuck at this game. I think that will show the character of this team, Rodrigues said in the post-match press meet.
Rodrigues exhorted the team not to get panicked but to focus on the process that earned it some good wins in the past.
We have been doing really well as a team, sticking to the process and taking one game at a time. We know every game from here is so crucial for us. We're going to go one game at a time
