Back to back defeats for Team India against Pakistan and New Zealand have got them to the brink of exit from the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Team India’s future in the tournament is hanging by a thread given that not only do they need to win all their remaining matches, they also need a few other results to go their way.
Indian skipper Virat Kohli is under immense pressure to turn things around in his last assignment as India’s T20I skipper. His comments in the post-match presentation showed the kind of body language the players had. He said that the Indian team were not brave enough throughout the match against New Zealand.
Ish Sodhi was adjudged the man of the match for taking two wickets and bowling 9 dots in his four overs for 17 runs. However, during the post-match press conference, a reporter asked him a question and then pleased him to answer it in Hindi. However, Sodhi refused and said:
“My Hindi is gonna be tested here, sir. I think if my mum is watching this and if I say something slightly wrong, she would give me a hard time about it. So, I will answer in English this time around but hopefully, I can develop my Hindi better,” said Ish Sodhi after the match between India and New Zealand,” Sodhi told the reporter.

I think adapting to conditions is a big thing we speak about a lot- Ish Sodhi
Ish Sodhi further talked about the clash against India and how did they outplay Virat Kohli and his men, just by observing the games played previously at the Dubai International Stadium, which was the venue for this match. He talked about the ground conditions and said:
“I think adapting to conditions is a big thing we speak about a lot. We had to judge by the last couple of games played at Dubai stadium and with the bubble life, you have a chance to look at the conditions, come and see the ground before you actually get a chance to play. Today was the first time we ventured into this ground. So a lot of our understanding has been from watching other games,” concluded Ish Sodhi.
