Due to a thumb injury, Rohit Sharma, who captained India in two ODIs during the previous series against Bangladesh, was unable to play in the opening Test.
Rohit Sharma’s status for the second Test against Bangladesh, which will begin on December 22 at Mirpur. Will be known in a day or two, according to acting India captain KL Rahul. The first Test, which India won by 188 runs on Sunday under Rahul’s captaincy and in which Rohit, who had captained India in two ODIs of the prior series, was unable to play. After suffering a left thumb injury while playing in the second ODI match against Bangladesh at Mirpur on December 7, Rohit had returned to India. His replacement has been named as Abhimanyu Easwaran.
Rahul said at the post-game press conference, “With regards to Rohit, we may be able to ascertain (his situation) in the next day or two, even I am not aware of it.
Rahul referred to the first Test victory over Bangladesh as a comprehensive performance, saying the squad performed admirably across the board and as a cohesive unit.
You win Test matches in that manner
“Everything was distinct. We bowled and batted quite well. We took the majority of the catches that came our way in fielding as well. You win Test matches in that manner. For all formats, only one or two players cannot win matches, “explained he.
In the first innings (of Bangladesh), “Kuldeep (Yadav) and (Mohammed) Siraj bowled exceptionally well, but others backed them well.” Axar (Patel) bowled exceptionally well in the second innings, but Kuldeep and Ash (R Ashwin) kept the pressure on. Umesh (Yadav) and Siraj bowled several excellent spells, kept it close, and frequently out-batted the bat, but they were unfortunate.
“Everyone performed well, which was what we as a team desired to achieve. Others offered support to the guys who did very well. The ones who support are as vital.” Rahul stated that the team’s culture is focused on the needs of the whole, not just one person.
“It is the same whether you have played 50 Test matches or this is your first or second match. They are irrelevant, “said he.
He claimed that Bangladesh’s first-inning 150-run bunt forced India to take the match.
We had plenty of time to try to win the game because of that. The game might have ended in a draw if Bangladesh had scored 350 in the first innings.
