Rohit Sharma Reflects on India’s Defeat Against Sri Lanka
Everything hurts when you lose a match. Not just about that 10 over. We should be able to maintain consistency in performance but today we were not able to do that. A bit disappointed but this is the game and these things happen. What is true has to be accepted. We thought the righty and lefty combination would make it easier to rotate the strike, full credit for Sri Lanka’s win goes to Jeffrey, Rohit Sharma said as he took six wickets.
I was able to score 65 runs because of the way I batted. When you want to bat in such a way, you have to take a lot of risk. But if the victory line is not crossed, I feel very disappointed. But Rohit Sharma said that I will not compromise in my batting in any way.
