Team India skipper Rohit Sharma accepted complete responsibility for failing as captain and batter after they crashed to a humiliating 3-0 series sweep at home to New Zealand. The 37-year-old admitted that the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar showed how to play on this surface.
“We did not play our best cricket in these conditions and are facing the result of that. Pant, Gill, Washington showed how to bat on those surfaces. You have to be proactive, last three-four years we have been playing on pitches like that. This was an unfortunate series where we tried certain things that did not come off. I was not at my best as captain in leading the team as well as with the bat. Collectively as a unit we failed to perform.”
