On a two-paced pitch, MI managed to get past the 160-run mark, with Rohit making 35 after skipper Suryakumar Yadav made 51.<p>\"Looks like a pretty slow wicket. You just have to get in and bide your time and then try and play some shots because it's not easy, but I thought we managed to get a decent score on the board. Hopefully, we can try and squeeze them in the first six, try and get some wickets up front, and then see where the game goes. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cLooks like that at the moment. As you saw in the first innings, shot-making wasn't that easy. We've got bowlers who can exploit that and try and, as I said, try and squeeze them in the first six. If you can manage to do that in the first six, then we are pretty much in control of the game, and then, our spinners, the seamers, can come into the picture,\u201d said Rohit in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also felt that hitting through the line shots won\u2019t work on the sluggish pitch. \u201cIt was two-paced, even with the new ball; there was something in it. Like I said, it was not easy to keep hitting through the line. You've got to understand where you want to hit the ball. Like I said, also, we've got the bowlers who are pretty smart to exploit those conditions, and I hope they can do that.\u201d <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cLooks like that at the moment.

No, no, nothing like that. I was just trying to be, I was just trying to walk there. So, I know Kuldeep, he likes to take the DRS as soon as there is a 50-50 chance. So I was just trying my luck there. It turned out in our favour, but as I said, I got out in the next over. Wanted to bat deep, but couldn't do so.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
