It was good, really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. Important game, series on the line. I broke it into pieces how I wanted to bat. It's a format that is longer than T20 cricket and a lot shorter than Tests. Still, you need to assess and bat according to the situation. I wanted to stay focused and bat as deep as possible. Looking at the pitch when you play on black soil, the pitch tends to skid on a bit so it's important that you show the full face of the bat. Then they were trying to bowl into the body and not give room so I prepared my plan as well. I accessed the gaps and obviously, I got good support from GIll and then Shreyas. We enjoy batting with each other, Gill is a very very classy players. I have seen him from close quarters and he doesn't get overawed by the situation. The numbers are there as well if I'm not wrong. It's quite important, the game can go either side. If you manage and squeeze in the middle overs, it helps you not worry at the death. In both the game, even in Nagpur, we squeezed in the middle overs and even here we squeezed in the middle overs. When you take wickets in the middle overs, you can contain the opposition. We want to keep getting better as a team. I said after the last match as well, we want to get better as a team and as players. As long guys are clear what they are supposed to do and whatever the captain and coach is saying, if they execute it then there's not much to think about.

 

- Player of the Match and India captain Rohit Sharma

22:12 (IST), Feb, 09

I thought we did a lot of things well, we got into a nice position with the bat. We needed someone to push on and get us to 350. Credit to Rohit, he batted superbly, he has been batting like this since a few years in ODI cricket. Wanted to get runs on the board, it skidded on and the opposition played well. We played the powerplay brilliant, we needed someone to kick on and a score around 330-350 would have been defendable. Just keep making steps in the right direction, the results are not there but we need to keep going and be positive.
