00:00All in all, I felt that India was playing a catching up game

00:04And when India started bowling, you have to pick 3 wickets in the first 6 overs

00:30I feel from the ball 1, his field setting and the bowling changes were top notch

00:59I felt that his planning must have been very good

01:04If you look at the first 6 overs, we were 35 with 2 wickets down

01:12But in that, 1 over was very big, 20 runs came in 5 overs

01:18And the 1 over that Adam Miller bowled, there were 15 runs

01:22But for me, a crucial phase of the game was after 6 overs till the end of the 10th over

01:36And we scored only 13 runs and lost 1 wicket

01:41So according to me, that was a critical phase where we missed out on capitalising

01:48Because I know that if wickets are taken early, batsmen think of partnership

01:55But those easy singles were not available

01:57And that forced our batters to play big shots

02:01If you see, Rohit went to clear, he got out, Virat also got out

02:06When Panth came to bat, fast bowlers came in

02:10And when spinners were coming in, there was a spinner and the end was changed

02:16Here I will say again, I remember the 2019 World Cup

02:22When we played in England and Satner came to bowl to Panth

02:26He was bowling from a long side so that if Panth is attacking towards mid-wicket

02:31So that boundary was the longest boundary of the ground

02:35And the same thing happened yesterday as well

02:37When Panth came to bat, immediately spinners end was changed by Williams

02:42Again a smart move

02:44All in all, I felt that India was playing a catching up game

02:48Because the way New Zealand was dominating yesterday

02:53It was a difficult time for our batsmen

02:55Because those easy singles were not available

02:58Which forced them to play big shots

03:00I have also noticed one more thing

03:02That is, especially the leg spinners who are mixing their deliveries

03:07Bowling googlyies, topspin, flippers, and normal legspin

03:11They have been successful in the recent touch against India

03:16If we talk about spinners, I will say that Ish Sodhi was very effective yesterday

03:22And Satner bowled very well from the other end

03:27Both combined, in 8 overs, only 32 runs were given

03:32Which is a very impactful performance

03:38I feel that we have to improve this area

03:43And when India started bowling

03:46In such totals, you have to pick 3 wickets in the first 6 overs

03:51Only then you stay in the game

03:53We didn't get many runs, we only took 1 wicket

03:58But it wasn't an impactful bowling

04:01In small totals, if you don't take wickets

04:05Eventually the opposition is going to come and dominate

04:08So there was a partnership between Darren Mitchell and Williamson

04:14Williamson is like a rock for the New Zealand team

04:21If he was on the wicket, he would have controlled the pace of the game

04:27Darren Mitchell played some decent shots

04:31He was rotating the strike

04:33I didn't feel there was as much penetration in our bowling

04:37All in all, a difficult day for our team

04:40But such days do come

04:43So you try, nothing works out
