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
