"We pretty much got what we wanted from the game"- India captain Rohit Sharma
After the conclusion of the practice match against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma said that he was satisfied with the output of Men in Blue. Reflecting on his team's performance, he said:
"Quite happy with how things went. We pretty much got what we wanted from the game. It was important for us to get used to the conditions and I feel we managed it well."
About the decision to send Rishabh Pant at No. 3, Rohit said:
Just to give Pant an opportunity. We haven't quite nailed down on what the batting order will look like but it was important for all the batters to get some practice on a new ground."
Sharma also lauded Arshdeep Singh:
"Arshdeep has shown us that he has got the skills upfront and also at the backend. We saw it today as well, swung the ball upfront and the back end as well got one over to bowl. Yeah like you know, we have got good fifteen players. It's just about nailing down the combinations."
