Talking about the reforms in his bowlers’ performance as compared to the previous match, Sharma said: “We looked into what went wrong in the game against Sri Lanka and we thought to hit the length was the option for us. We wanted their batsmen to take on the longer boundaries. Bowlers executed plans very well. We kept it simple and got the basics right, which was missing in the first game.”

Rohit concluded by stating the fact that men in blue still needs to improve a lot in fielding and catching departments, he said, “Catching is something where there’s always room for improvement. We want to get better as a fielding side. We are much better than that.”
