Pant has a tendency to play careless shots. Uska naya nahi hai. He's still new though.

Pandya on the other hand 🤬

Few Indian lives will be saved by this charity n humanity , hummaya Indians bucks , lives are saved , thank god , god bless Bharat 🥳

Rohit Sharma | Losing captain: We just ended up on the wrong side, as simple as that. We could have capitalized on the first half of our innings. We fell 10-15 runs short. The second half wasn't good for us. The guys who were out in the middle can learn about what shots can be played. These things can happen. Losses like these will make us understand what works as a team. With the ball, it was a good effort to take it to the last over considering the start they had. The spinners bowled aggressively and got wickets in the middle overs, but Sri Lanka held their nerve. We thought with the bigger boundary we could use the spinners well. But the plan didn't work out. Their right-handers batted for very long. I thought of bringing in Hooda and using the longer boundaries. But I was happy with the three seamers. Unfortunately Avesh hasn't turned up well in the fitness tests. He didn't respond well because he was quite sick. Ideally the combination we would play is four seamers, but three seamers was something we wanted to try before the World Cup. We need to find answers as a team, like where we are with five bowlers. We know now where we stand with this combination. No long term worries, we have lost only two games back to back. Since the last World Cup, we haven't lost too many games. These games will teach us. We wanted to put ourselves under pressure in the Asia Cup. We are still looking for answers. These were two back to back games of close finishes. Have to give a lot to Arshdeep for bowling at the death and for the way he bowled. Chahal and Bhuvi are the senior pros and have been doing it for a while. I need to get answers from the younger ones.

Dasun Shanaka | Winning captain | MoM: The environment in the team set the tone. It is what gave us the confidence. The batting unit won it for us. The bowlers bowled well in patches, Dilshan and Theekshana in particular. The Indian batsmen came hard, but we did well to keep them to 173. We had a good dicussion after the first game. We know what we can do in this tournament. Pathum and Mendis set the tone for us, and then Rajapaksa and me finished it off. Due to the team combination, Chamika bowls four overs for us, and that is why I don't have to bowl my full quota of overs. I just have to take decisions on the basis of what the team needs.

It was a battle of the same ideology -- of going hard, and then going harder when the going got tough. In the end, of course it looked like Shanaka the batsman winning it for Sri Lanka. But it was Shanaka the bowler who was the difference. India were a victim of a team combination that didn't allow for any of their bowlers to have a bad day, and that's where they once again fell apart.

i dont think bhuvi was overconfident, he looked nervous from ball one in the 19th. Was surprised to see him nervous like this cause he is experienced n has win it for the team. Overconfident toh ghamandi pandya tha 🤪

Mummy was like ye itna Darr Darr k kyu khel rahe (batting in both games), she was like bada score kyu nahi diya. Chase thodi karna tha.

I just have one qstn: why not DK??

Pant ko le sakte ho, Hooda ko le sakte ho but DK ke liye jagah nahi?🤔

He's the only one who can provide the much-needed support in the batting lineup

Coz right now our openers are not solid/consistent enough, our middle order is flimsy, we're barely scraping together a total while gasping for air

We need DK to solidify the finishing runs

I can still understand Pant but exactly what purpose is Hooda serving rn??
