Not happy together with his staff’s show with the willow, India skipper Hardik Pandya on Sunday stated batters need to take extra accountability going ahead. India put up one other underwhelming batting show as they may handle solely 152/7 within the second T20I towards the West Indies, which the hosts gained by two wickets. The whole was solely a contact higher than the 145/9 they managed within the first recreation.

“If I am being honest that was a not a pleasing batting performance. The wickets were falling and the track was on the slower side. We could have batted better. 160 plus or 170 would have been a good total.

“Batters have to take extra accountability,” Hardik said at the post-match presentation.

India trail the five-match series 0-2 with the likes of Shubaman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson failing to score runs.

“With the present mixture we’ve we should belief our prime seven batters to come back good and hope the bowlers win you video games. We have to search out methods to verify we’ve the correct steadiness, however on the identical time, batters have to take extra accountability.”

Tilak Varma has looked at ease, playing in his debut series as he scored the bulk of the runs for India.

“The means he has been batting, that’s one thing we’re . A left-hander at No. 4 provides us a right-left mixture all through. The children are coming with confidence and fearlessness.”

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell was delighted with the win.

“It’s an excellent place to be in. Hopefully we will hold successful. We at all times knew it was going to come back all the way down to how we batted towards spin. Shows cricket is a recreation of superb uncertainties.” On shuffling his bowlers throughout the innings, he said “I realised that every time batters go on the bowlers, they do not go on the first over. So I attempted to remove that and gave my bowlers one-over spells, particularly quick bowlers as a result of it is extremely scorching.”
