India vs Windies | We have forced people to change their perception about us, asserts Ashley Nurse

After the Windies team lost the first ODI to an extravagant display of batting by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the visitors were written off and were not expected to fare any better in the upcoming matches. But they have made a valiant comeback and with only two more ODIs to go the series is now well poised with the scoreline reading 1-1. The West Indies team won the third ODI and the main performer for the visitors was Ashley Nurse who scored a quickfire 40 runs and also picked two crucial wickets. Nurse asserted that no one gave the Windies any chance against the Indian side but they have already forced people to change their perceptions.

On the pitch of the third ODI at Pune, Nurse assessed the pitch as that was good pitch on the slower side. But he also said that it was largely a batting friendly wicket.

The all rounder said that one can’t perform in every match but can try to do the right things and that’s exactly what he does.

"Every day is fishing day but every day is not catching day. So I just go and put the ball in the right areas, try to create as much chances as possible. And just try do my job, not really care about the critics, just go and do my job for the team each and every day," Nurse concluded.

"Just dedicating the celebration to my Indian friend - Sunny Sohal, whom I met at the CPL. He told me, when you get a wicket do a 'Babaji ka thullu' or something," Nurse said.
