Rohit Sharma revealed that they tried everything but it wasn’t supposed to be. 20-30 runs more would have been good,
KL and Kohli were stitching a good partnership and we were looking at 270-280 but we kept losing wickets.
When you have 240 on the board, you want to take wickets but credit to Head and Labuschagne who stitched together a big partnership and put us completely out of the game. We tried everything we could but he felt that wicket got slightly better to bat under lights. Nevertheless, don’t want to give that as an excuse.
