Find OutShikhar Dhawan who was awarded the player of the match talked about his innings after the game and revealed that he was disappointed as he missed out on getting a hundred.
"(On not getting 100) It was disappointing but grateful for 97. I enjoyed it. It was difficult as it was holding a bit and turned. When Shubman, Shreyas and I were batting, we wanted to go big and make it easy for the youngsters. We had nerves as we didn't expect them to come this close. Fine leg went back and two three boundaries were stopped there which helped. We thought of using the bigger side, we gave doubles to fine leg. One of them should have been a runout but not every day is a perfect day. We have to get better."
India will play the second ODI of the series on 24th July and will look to seal the series with a win.
