Twitter reacts as India lose the ODI series against Bangladesh

Team India has lost another ODI match as well as a series in Bangladesh. 7 years ago also during their tour to this country, they lost the ODI series to the host. However, this is their second ODI series loss in a row as they lost the second ODI by a small margin of five runs after losing the first game by 1 wicket. While Bangladesh scored 271 runs, India could only manage 266 runs as well.

After the loss, India captain Rohit Sharma said: “It (thumb injury) isn’t too great. Some dislocation and some stitches. Fortunately, not a fracture and so, I was able to bat. When you lose a game, there are positives and negatives. From being 69/6, allowing them to get to 270-odd wasn’t a great effect from our bowlers. We started well but the middle overs and the back end is what’s hurting us a lot. Happened in the last game as well. It’s something we need to work on. Not taking anything away from Mehidy and Mahmudullah, was a great partnership but we also need to find ways of breaking such partnerships.”

“In One-Day cricket, it’s about partnerships and when you get those, you have to ensure that they are converted to match-winning partnerships. That’s what they did. If you get those 70-run stands, you need to convert them into 110-120 run partnerships for the team to win games, as it isn’t easy for the new batter. Need to be braver in the middle. There are few injury concerns, we need to get to the bottom of this. Need to try and monitor them, because it’s important to understand this. When they come to play for India, they need to be at more than 100 percent. We need to monitor their workload because we can’t have guys coming in to play for the country half-fit,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
