Team India was bundled out for a meager score of 92 runs and lost the fourth ODI by eight wickets. Rohit also praised Amabati Rayudu and Vijay Shankar for stringing a 98-run partnership for the fifth wicket as they were struggling 18/4 before that partnership.

Sharma elaborated, “All of our players performed well in this series. Today was a perfect match for us. We lost four wickets for 18 runs, then I started getting reminded of the last match, where we were all out for 90-odd. But, Amabati Rayudu and Vijay Shankar strung a brilliant partnership and we want our batsman to flourish in these situations. Rayudu’s performance will give him and the team confidence. It was also important for Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya to finish well, which they did.”
