“We want to try to do certain things when we bat” - Rohit Sharma

A lot of things went right for India in the opening T20I. The side posted an impressive 190 for 6 batting first and then held the opposition to 122 for 8. However, the visitors did spring a surprise by sending Suryakumar Yadav to open with Rohit Sharma.

Admitting that the experiments would continue, the Indian captain said at the post-match interaction:

"We want to try certain things when we bat in the first six overs, when we bat in the middle overs, and how we finish off the games. So, there are three facets of the game we want to try to improve, and how we can get the best out of each player.”

He elaborated:

“We've given specific roles to specific players to come and do the job for the team. Today, we did it. There's no guarantee that it will happen every game, but we got to try and back those ideas of going out there and trying to execute certain skills with the bat.”

The 35-year-old asserted that the team think-tank is okay if a few failures come along the way because their focus is the larger goal. He stated:

"While doing that we will have some odd failures here and there but we are pretty much okay with that. We want to try to do certain things when we bat, and I think we're able to achieve certain things. So, all in all, I thought it was a great effort and we want to continue to do that."

Rohit Sharma top-scored for India in the first T20I, smashing 64 in 44 balls. Dinesh Karthik was the Player of the Match for his blazing 41* in 19 deliveries.
