Wellington, Feb 6 (UNI) After losing the first T20 match against New Zealand, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday aceeded to the defat, saying that the team failed to perform in all three departments.
"Chasing 200 runs in Twenty20 matches is never easy. To achieve this goal, we have to keep wickets, but we kept losing wickets, and we ended up with losing the match." Rohit said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
'We have chased such targets in the past and that is why we played with eight batsmen, but we didn't have small partnerships and that made it tough. New Zealand, though played well, they had partnerships," the skipper added.
