Toss is a very crucial point of the game. Unfortunately, Virat Kohli has not had luck yet at the toss. Teams chasing have the upper hand looking at the pitch turn upside down, and the due coming into the picture. Ground conditions support the team batting second, and India was put in to bat first for the two matches that they have played so far at the Dubai International Stadium.
“I don’t think we were brave enough with bat or ball” – India captain Virat Kohli
After India’s poor performance with the bat and the ball against the blackcaps, skipper Virat Kohli reflected on the team’s performance and said :
“Quite bizarre. I don’t think we were brave enough with bat or ball. We didn’t have much to defend but we weren’t brave when we walked onto the field. Whenever we looked to take the game on, we lost a wicket. That happens in T20 cricket when some hesitation set in.”
Not the result we wanted, but we will look to bounce back in the matches ahead. #TeamIndia #T20WorldCup #INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/A61JjoITe1
