The skipper of India, Rohit Sharma says that it was important to finish on a high. Adds that New Zealand have been playing some good cricket in recent years and they needed this result. Mentions that after losing three wickets in the first Powerplay, they needed a couple of partnerships and Iyer and Axar provided them with that while Hardik also did well. Says that they thought that it was a total they could work with as they have a lot of quality in their bowling attack. Further adds that there is no doubt that Varun has something different in him and it is a nice headache to have ahead of the next game. Tells that it is good that they are not making the same mistakes and learning from them with each game and that is exactly what you need to do in this format. Says that Australia have a rich history in ICC tournaments but it is about how they approach that game and hopefully get the better of them to make it to the final.
