"They wanted to get runs and get runs real fast"- Dinesh Karthik on the batting approach of Rohit Sharma and co in the 2nd innings
Dinesh Karthik opined that India played an aggressive brand of cricket in both batting and bowling departments on day 4, looking for a result. Speaking on Cricbuzz after stumps on Sunday, Karthik reviewed the play saying:
"Team India were like Ayrton Senna in a Formula 1 car on a rain-marred day. They were brilliant. They started things with the ball where the fast bowlers came in and mopped up the tail. They were 229/5 yesterday, and they got them all out for 255.
Karthik heaped praise on India's batting intent in the second innings and felt that it was entertaining to watch. He continued:
"India came with a purpose, with an aim. They wanted to get runs and get runs real fast, and that's what they did. What was great to watch was what India did with the bat after that. Three young guns and one Mr Rohit Sharma, all four of them batted at a clip of more than 7 runs an over. They got 181 in just about 24 overs, declared, and gave West Indies a target of 365.
West Indies need 289 runs to win on the final day with eight wickets left in the bag. India currently lead the two match series 1-0.
