Rohit Sharma Indian Cricket Team: In the second test match affected by rain, the Indian team won in spectacular fashion by 7 wickets. Due to rain, bad weather and wet outfield, not a single ball could be bowled on the second and third days, but despite this, India managed to win the match comfortably on the fifth day. Bangladesh team could score only 146 runs in the second innings. After this, Team India got the target of 95 runs, which Team India easily chased. After the match, captain Rohit Sharma has praised Akash Deep.
Great effort to get results on this pitch: Rohit
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said that after missing two and a half days due to bad weather, when we came on the field on the fourth day, we wanted to get him out as soon as possible and see what we could do with the bat. When they got out for 230, it was not about the runs we scored but how many overs we bowled them. It was a great effort to get a result on this pitch. It was a risk we were willing to take because when you try to bat like that you can get out on a low score. But we were ready for it, even if we got out for 100-120 runs. He said that we had a great time (with Dravid) but life goes on. I have played with Gautam Gambhir and know the kind of mentality he comes with.
Rohit praised young bowler Akashdeep
Akash Deep bowled amazingly in the test series against Bangladesh. He took a total of five wickets in the series. Captain Rohit looked happy with his performance. He said that he (Akash Deep) is looking good. He has played a lot of domestic cricket. When you come up like this you have bowled a lot of overs. He has skills. Body is also good and can bowl long spells. We know this guy can do the job the team is expecting. You need to build your bench strength.
