India vs Bangladesh | We got the job done despite sloppy fielding, says Rohit Sharma

With Indian players dropping sitters, messing up simple stumpings and giving away cheap runs throughout the match, it appeared that Bangladesh might have a chance to seal the T20I series in Rajkot. However, when Rohit and Dhawan walked in to chase down the 154 run target, it was evident that Bangladesh were in for a rough ride. 

“We were sloppy in the field, have to accept that. But the focus is always on getting the job done. I knew that Rajkot is a good track, knew will be difficult for bowlers in the second innings. We took advantage of that, had a great powerplay. After that, it was all about going on.”  

"Both Washington and Chahal understand their bowling really well. More importantly, they analyse and have conversations about where they can improve. Chahal has bowled in difficult situations and has somehow brought the team to the top. It's given him confidence. Washington has been our new-ball bowler, but today, I wanted to keep his three overs at the back,” Rohit added. 

After the great start offered by Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar, Bangladesh were not able to consolidate and ended up posting a subpar total against a batting heavy Indian side. With the Indian openers scoring for fun from the word go, the game soon turned into a non-contest. While crediting the Indian side for their performance in the game, Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah urged his side to be more positive going into the series decider in Nagpur.
