Sakib and Rohit mystery with umpires at the match in Adelaide Cricket ground when the match was stopped for rain.
After the Match Two captain described:
Rohit Sharma: I was calm and nervous at the same time, but it was important to stay calm as a group to execute. Shortened games can go either way, but we held our nerves well after the game started, it was a good win in the end. Arshdeep, when he came into the scene, we asked him to do the death over Jon for us. With Bumrah not there, it was a tough job for someone to take up. For a young guy to come and do that kind of job is not easy, but we've prepared him. He's been doing it for 8-9 months. I had to back someone who had been doing it regularly, it was a choice between Shami and Arshdeep. In my mind, Kohli was always there. It was just a matter of a few innings here and there, and he hasn't looked back since the Asia Cup. The guy has so much experience. The way KL batted as well, was important for him and the team. We know what sort of player he is at the top of the order. Some of the catches we took today were great to watch. When you're playing in front of a big crowd it's not easy. To take those catches shows the character of the guys. I have no doubts about our fielding abilities.
Shakib Al Hasan: "It's been the story when we play India. We're almost there but don't cross the line. It was a great game, the crowd enjoyed it, and both teams enjoyed it, in the end, someone has to win and someone has to lose. Litton is batting really well, probably he's our best batsman going around. We thought we could chase this down after that start. Our plan was to get India's top order quickly, that's why I bowled out Taskin, he's been our main bowler. Unfortunately, he couldn't get wickets today, he was unlucky but it was a plan to get India's top order out to dictate the game. We're positive, we wanted to enjoy this World Cup, hopefully, we can continue this."
