प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में आते ही रोहित बोले- चलाओ तलवार: टॉस जीतकर पहले बैटिंग करना गलत फैसला; पंत के घुटने में थोड़ी सूजन

Indian captain Rohit Sharma during the press conference.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma, as soon as he came to the press conference after the end of the second day’s play, jokingly told the media – use the sword. India was all out for 46 runs on the second day of the first Test against New Zealand. Rohit said after the match – The decision to bat first after winning the toss was wrong. I am disappointed by this. In view of this, Rohit made a joke like ‘Chaalo Talwar’.

Rohit said in the press conference, ‘You see, try and decide. Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you don’t and this time I had made the wrong decision. I am disappointed with myself because batting was my decision, but look, as a team I think these are the challenges.

The first day of the second Test was canceled due to rain. On the second day, the Indian captain won the toss and decided to bat first. Rohit played three spinners and two fast bowlers. Batting first, the Indian team was all out for 46 runs. By the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand had scored 180 runs at the loss of 3 wickets.

misjudged the pitch Rohit said- I also made a mistake in understanding the pitch. The reason for including three spinners in the playing-11 was the pitch which I could not understand properly. He said, ‘We felt there was not much grass on the pitch. We thought that whatever has to happen here in the first session of the match, will happen. After this, as the game progresses, there will be turn on the pitch. Whenever we play in India, the first session is always difficult. After this the wicket becomes normal and the spinners start getting help here.

That’s why we felt that Kuldeep would have to be included because he bowls on flat wickets and takes wickets, so we expected the pitch to be a little flat, but it did not happen. We completely misjudged the pitch.

5 batsmen including Virat Kohli (right) were out for zero in this match. Rohit scored 2 runs.

Pant’s knee is swollen, hopefully he will improve overnight Rishabh Pant left the field after injuring his right knee while keeping wickets on the second day against New Zealand. The captain said, ‘Unfortunately the ball hit Pant straight on his knee cap, the same leg on which he has undergone surgery. So he has got some swelling on it. We didn’t want to take the risk. This was the reason why he went out of the field. Hopefully he will recover overnight and we will see him back on the field tomorrow.

After getting injured, Pant limped out of the field with the physio.
