Did Not Play Enough Sweeps, Reverse Sweeps Or Paddle Sweeps, Says Rohit After Series Loss To SL
Sri Lanka: India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that his batters didn’t play many sweeps, reverse sweeps, and paddle sweeps, as well as not showing much footwork in tackling spinners, which led to their first men’s ODI series defeat to Sri Lanka in 27 years.
At the R. Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lankan spinners, led by Dunith Wellalage’s 5-27, bamboozled the Indian batters, who didn’t show much application and exposed their limitations of playing on slow and turning pitches, to win by 110 runs and win the series 2-0.
"They (Sri Lankan batters) were consistent with sweeps, taking their chances. There weren't a lot of runs scored down the ground. They didn't use the feet as much as we expected. It was about using sweeps and piercing that deep square leg and midwicket field. That is something we failed to do as a batting unit.”
