It is a great feeling – Rohit Sharma after India’s series win against Afghanistan
India managed to secure their second straight win against Afghanistan as they secured the T20I series with a match to spare. The bowlers got their job done in decent fashion following which the batters came out in their most towering incarnation that blew away the visitors completely.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper, couldn’t contribute much with the bat as he fell for a golden duck but he was happy with the way the Indian boys fared against Afghanistan who put up a pretty decent show with the bat. Talking at the post-match presentation, Rohit heaped praises on the Indian cricketers and highlighted the positives for the Men in Blue from their second straight win.
Rohit said, “It is a great feeling, it has been a long journey starting way back in 2007. I've cherished every moment I have spent here. We have been clear with what we wanted to do, very clear message to everyone and when you see a performance like that, you can be really proud.”
He continued, “One thing is talking about it, but to actually go there and play that way is a proud feeling. The last two games, we've ticked a lot of boxes. They've had a great couple of years, Jaiswal has played Test cricket now and even T20I.”
The Indian skipper concluded, “Jaiswal has shown what he is capable of. He has the talent and has a great range of shots. Dube is a big guy, very powerful and can take on the spinners. That is his role and he has come out and played two crucial innings for us.”
