India registered an emphatic 10 wicket victory over minnows Nepal via DLS method in Pallekele on Monday. With this victory, the Men in Blue entered the Super-4 stage of the ongoing Asia Cup.
However, captain Rohit Sharma was not satisfied with the bowling and fielding effort of the team.
The match gave India a hard reality check as most of the players appeared undercooked during the course of Nepal’s innings. Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, and Ishan Kishan dropped straightforward catches in the first five overs, which allowed the Nepal opening pair Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh to capitalize.
“We can’t really look too much into these two games, one was washed out, but luckily we got to bat in the first game and bowl in this one. We haven’t been at our best, but a few guys are coming out after months out of the game,” said Rohit
“Once we move ahead in the Super Fours, there is no room for complacency. First game, under pressure, Hardik and Ishan got us into a good position. Today our bowling was little bit okay, but fielding was bad,” he added.
