It Was Not As If I Wanted To Throw My Wicket Away After Powerplay: Rohit Sharma
Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament: After India’s ODI series ended in a 2-0 defeat to Sri Lanka, captain Rohit Sharma stated he never had intentions to throw his wicket away in the Power-play overs, saying his plan was to score as many runs as possible.
Rohit was India’s best batter in the series, smashing 157 runs, including two half-centuries, at a strike rate of 141.44 across three matches, as he continued to play an attacking brand of Power-play batting. But it didn’t yield in India winning the series, as the rest of the batters crumbled to the Sri Lankan spinners.
"I knew that the runs that will be scored during the Power-play will be critical. I knew that the wickets would get a little slow after that, the ball would turn a bit and even the field is spread out. When there are only two fielders outside the ring, we had to take our chances.”
