🏏 Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #21: India vs New Zealand🏏 - Page 79

Tom Latham: We played reasonably well. We didn't quite capitalize in the last 10. We left a little out there. But credit to India. We weren't able to get the double breakthrough with the ball. Rachin and Mitchell had a fantastic partnership to set us up for the last 10. We have a perfect group. We want to be in those positions. Rachin with the bat, Daryl with the 100. The bowlers did well. He played a fantastic innings. He controlled the tempo for them for others to bat around him. Just try to be proactive and focus on the matchups a little. Another good innings from him. We have a few days off. We have a day game here. We want to do good stuffs.

Shrajit : "Jadeja couldn't finish the game back in Manchester four years back. It's only fair that he hit the winning runs today. Poetic justice of sorts."

What India could have done better? Their FIELDING. The catching was appalling. Even the ground fielding wasn't great. May be the outfield played a part. Kohli didn't take the single and got out with India needing 5 runs. He will get the benefit of the doubt given India needed only 5 runs. Rahul in the first game, Kohli against Bangladesh and today. The hundreds in WCs are cherished more. Hence, Indian players have gone a little hard for that

Heh, I mean, in all those situations, they could afford to prioritise the centuries. And Jadeja gave him the strike. So whatever.

Rohit Sharma: Good start to the tournament. Job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the oppurtunity with both hands. He has the experience in these conditions and is a class bowler. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus. Credit to our bowlers at the back end. I am enjoying my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) compliment each other. happy that we won. Nothing much to say. He has done this for us so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back. the fielding is something we pride ourselves on. Today the fielding wasn't clinical. These things happen. We know that fielding is something that will decide a lot of things going forward. We love travelling and playing in different parts of the game.

10.25pm Time for the captains.Rohit Sharma, India capt: "Good start to the tournament but job is half done. Shami took the opportunity with both hands. He's got class and so much experience and he used the conditions really well. At one stage NZ put up a big partnership there. Dew came in as well. But we have to give credits to the bowlers in the back end. Shubman and I compliment each other quite well in the middle. Couldn't get big enough runs ourselves but happy to win. Nothing much to say about Virat. We've seen him do this for so many years. He backs himself to do the job. Towards the end there was a bit of pressure with a few wickets lost, but Kohli and Jadeja took us home. Fielding is something we pride ourselves on. It wasn't as clinical as we'd like to. Couple of dropped catches but those guys are good, Jadeja is among the best in the game. We love travelling and playing in different parts of the country. So far we have not been disappointed and we have not disappointed the crowd as well"
