Rohit on batting display vs Bangladesh: ' That's how we want to enjoy and go forward'

" You need to present purpose and get the batsmen on, so it was pleasing from a bat perspective", Anil Kumble said

India's bowling strategy against Bangladesh, which includes going "hard from game one," is "how we want to play," according to Rohit Sharma.

" I've been talking about that for a long time," Rohit said after India's 50-run succeed against Bangladesh, which kept them unbroken in the T20 World Cup 2024 with a semi-final port in sight. " It's just about going there and putting it to work knowing what is expected out of us, what we need to do and how we need to perform.

" Considering all, we played really well. We adapted to the problems. You need to be selective about what factors to consider and how to pick them, such as the weather. We were bright with the wicket, and with the game. Nevertheless it was a great endeavor. "

India made 196 after being put into bat, with Virat Kohli's 28 balls ( for 37 ) the longest innings and Hardik Pandya's 50 not out ( from 27 balls ) the highest score. There was a sprightly cameo from Rishabh Pant ( 36 off 24 ), while Rohit scored an 11-ball 23 and Shivam Dube hit 34 in 24 balls.

" Look, all eight pitchers need to play their role, whatever it is," Rohit said. " We saw just one person getting a fifty, but we still got 198 [196]. In T20s, I do n't believe you need to get fifties and hundreds. What matters is how you can exert pressure on the criticism.

" From the beginning, every batter was trying to do that." We want to play that way and should motivate ourselves to advance. Yes, you must also be aware of the circumstances, but the club has a lot of expertise and we encourage them to use it on the field. "

What he can do with the pitcher perfectly demonstrated now. He is a crucial person for us. If he can stay doing that, we will be in great jobs"

Anil Kumble, the past India captain and head manager, called the view "refreshing".

" You want pitchers to come in and take on the batsmen," Kumble said on ESPNcricinfo's T20 TimeOut present. " This is a format where you ca n't come in, sit back, and allow good bowlers to bowl their four overs.

" You need to present purpose and get the batsmen on, so it was pleasing from a bat view. Yes, if you probably look at the way they got out, perhaps you'd believe them to continue. But, in this file, you want them to get tight. Also Rishabh Pant was anticipating a slow sweep when he hit a six and four. "

Kumble felt more comfortable hitting at No. 8 [Ravindra Jadeja, who did n't get a chance to bat ] had empowered the top order. " Jadeja is eight. That allows the batters to demonstrate the goal they have displayed, Kumble said. " And it's not just one dough going strong and getting to 70-80," he said. Yes, if it happens it happens, but I do n't think that's the template India is looking to play.

When one more flour came in, one more batter would have gone through and the rest of the batters would play around one more dough. There's a position for an outlet next. Those items are now gone. You can demonstrate your intent from ball one because your batting line-up is somewhat more. "

With a following strong bowling performance in the contest, Hardik showed that goal. After Rashid Khan applied the wheels to India, his half-century partnership with Suryakumar Yadav two nights prior had steered it out of trouble. On Saturday, Hardik ensured India had velocity going into the tear; The final five innings ended with a score of 62.

Hardik's four toes and three sixes came in the final game, and he partially offset Dube's earlier struggles with their 53-run relationship.

In the previous match, I mentioned how crucial his collaboration with Surya was. We are in a very fine position, Rohit said, because he batted the way he did. " We want to end off pitches really well after the best five-six set the system to finish the game.

" Hardik being Hardik, we know what he's capable of. Now was a great example of what he can do with the pitcher. He is a crucial person for us. If he can preserve doing that, we will be in good jobs. "
