He scolded everyone, looked red with anger… Rohit Sharma blamed himself for the shameful defeat
Today is a day that the Indian team will never forget. This is the first time in Test history that it was whitewashed by a team on its own ground. Before this, it was defeated by West Indies 3-0 twice, but on both occasions the series was of more than 3 matches. After the shameful defeat in his home match in Mumbai, Rohit Sharma’s face was bowed in shame. He scolded everyone in his statement and finally called himself the biggest villain.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said – Losing a series and losing a Test is never easy. It is not easily digestible. We could not play our best cricket. We know and we accept it. They performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to accept it.
He scolded the batsmen and said – We did not score enough runs in the first innings and we fell behind in the game. We got a lead of 30 (28) runs. We felt that we were ahead. The target could have been achieved, but we had to perform better. You also want runs on the board, this is something that was in my mind, it did not happen and when it happens it does not feel good.
He said about his own batting – When I go to bat, I have some ideas in my mind, but it did not happen in this series and it is disappointing for me. Those players showed how to bat on these surfaces, you have to be ahead and be proactive. We have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years. It was not successful in this series and it is sad.
He said about his captaincy while being disappointed – Also, I could not do my best as a batsman and captain, this is something that will bother me. But, we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.
