"That was not a pleasing batting performance" - Hardik Pandya after India's defeat in the 2nd T20I

India's batting has failed to fire in back-to-back games now. Despite Tilak Varma, who made his debut in the first T20I against the West Indies, none of the Indian batters managed to make an impact.

Speaking after the second game, Indian skipper Hardik Pandya rued that they didn't bat well, which eventually cost them the game.

"If am being honest that was not a pleasing batting performance, we could have batted better. 160+ or 170 would have been a good total," Hardik said.

With not many options available, the Men in Blue will hope their batters step up the game and pull one back in the five-match series.
