India vs West Indies, 2nd ODI: Disappointing, but many things to learn, says Hardik Pandya | Cricket News – Act Daily News

India’s stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya voiced his dismay on the batting efficiency of his crew because the West Indies efficiently chased down a modest goal of 182 to win by six wickets in Barbados and degree the three-match collection at 1-1.

Rohit Sharma, who’s India’s designated skipper, rested himself alongside Virat Kohli to gauge the children forward of the Asia Cup and World Cup.

During the post-match presentation, Pandya expressed his disappointment with the best way the batsmen approached their innings, conceding wickets simply and failing to stick to the supposed recreation plan.

“We didn’t bat the way we were supposed to. The wicket was better than it was in the first game. Everyone barring Shubman Gill hit (towards the) fielders and got out. Disappointing, but there are many things to learn. The way our openers batted, especially Ishan (Kishan) who struck it well, it is good for India. Shardul (Thakur) got us back in with his bowling. (Shai) Hope and (Keacy) Carty batted well and got them through,” stated Pandya.
India have been bundled out for 181 in 40.5 overs, with Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd claiming three wickets every to place India below stress.

Windies skipper Hope then led from the entrance within the run-chase with an unbeaten 63 , properly supported by Carty, who contributed 48 not out.
“To be honest, you want to be going 1-1 to the third game, as it’ll be more challenging and exciting,” Pandya added.

Talking about his personal match-fitness, particularly in the case of bowling, Pandya recommended that he isn’t in a rush and hopes to hit the height nearer to the World Cup.
“(My) body is fine. I have to bowl more overs and get my workload up for the World Cup. I’m a turtle right now, not the rabbit, and hoping everything goes right as the World Cup comes on,” the all-rounder stated.
