When you&#8217;re playing for India, there&#8217;s no complacency. We have to give credit where credit is due, Sri Lanka played better than us. We looked at the conditions and wanted to take pace off the ball, and that&#8217;s why we went with our combination. All in all, we didn&#8217;t play good cricket through the series, and that is why we stand here,&#8221; Rohit said during the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n<p>A pressing issue for Team India that\u00a0emerged out of the three-match ODI series was the way they handled spin. India lost 27 wickets\u00a0to spin &#8211;\u00a0the most by any team in a bilateral ODI series comprising at least three games. The tourists got bundled out for 138 in 26.1 overs while chasing 249 and lost nine of their wickets to spin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a concern, but it&#8217;s something we need to look at seriously, our individual gameplans, and it&#8217;s something we were definitely put under pressure with in this series,&#8221; said Rohit after being asked to comment on India&#8217;s lacklustre display against spinners.<\/p>\n<p>More to follow&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/it-s-a-joke-rohit-sharma-brushes-aside-talks-of-complacency-after-series-loss-to-sri-lanka-2024-08-07-945764\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : AP Rohit Sharma.
