Indirect Jibe of Team India Captain Rohit Sharma at the Batsman of Pakistan Cricket Team
On Saturday, the captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, praised his bowlers for bundling out Pakistan by 191 runs on a page that had nothing much in it for the bowlers. During the Mega World Cup match, five Indian bowlers grabbed to wicked each as the home team bowled out Pakistan in 42.5 overs before chasing down the target in the 31st over. Rohit Sharma was quite happy with his bowlers for laying the foundation for the 8th successive victory of team India over Pakistan in the ODI World Cup.
In the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma said, "The bowlers were the ones who set the game up for us. I don't think it was a 190 kind of pitch. At one stage, we were looking at 280.”
He further said, “The way the bowlers showed grit says a lot. That is something we pride ourselves on. Whoever gets the ball does the job for the team.”
He also said, "We've got six individuals who can do the job with the ball. My job as a captain is important there as well. It's to read the conditions and figure out who's the right guy to do the job.”
