When we need to look into it, we will: Rohit Sharma unfazed about India’s crushing defeat in the second ODI

Rohit Sharma was unfazed about India’s display in the second ODI where the entire team got skittled out for a paltry 117 and it has been a while since India has been thumped head-first to the ground, suffering a 10-wicket defeat in their home conditions. However, the Indian captain believes that it was a one-off and all the talks about the voodoo of a left-arm seamer will prove to be everything but consequential once the Indian batters hit the right yards.

Talking in the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma said, “When you have a quality bowler in the opposition, he is bound to take wickets. He is trying his best to get your best players out. Whether it's a left-armer or a right-armer, they will get wickets. The right-armers have troubled us well, nobody talks about it. We don't look too much into the left-arm or the right-arm -- wickets are wickets. If you lose wickets, it is a concern. We will look into all sorts of things: how we are getting out, what we need to do, how we can come up with better plans, better methods against the seamers.”

He further added, “When things don't happen, there are a lot of thoughts that can come (in). But we try and get the best players out there in the middle to go and face this challenge. It didn't work out today for us, maybe it won’t be the same in Chennai, who knows. You know, the last six ODIs, if I remember a lot of the top order (batsmen) got big runs. When we really need to look into it, we will definitely look into it.”

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma departed in the exact same over where Suryakumar Yadav fell for the second time against Mitchell Starc and that too, without scoring. However, the Indian captain has full faith in his team and vowed to turn the tide around as the series finale awaits in less than a couple of days’ time.
