“We don’t have to regret it,” he said. Because this is the first time we have lost in two consecutive matches since the World Cup. We wanted to be under tremendous pressure in the Asia Cup. We have some answers, we can answer a lot if you want.

India has felt the lack of a third specialist pacer in the match. Rohit was forced to finish his full quota even though the Sri Lankan batsmen were getting runs off Hardik Pandya. Because there was no other pacer on the team except Hardik.

“When we were touring different countries, we had four pacers (three specialist pacers and Hardik) in our team. But we also wanted to test what could happen if three pacers were played. During the World Cup, I want to be ready with the answers to all the questions. Since Hardik’s return to the team, we have always played with three (specialist) pacers. Hardik played as the fourth pacer. But we have to experiment with all the options. We know fairly well how to move forward with our first XI. ’

Rohit Sharma said, “Our last was full of mistakes. We were 10-15 runs less (than we could afford). Sri Lanka’s nerves in the match were actually incredibly good.

Praising Arshdeep, India captain Rohit Sharma said, “You can give credit to Arshdeep, he has been able to take the match out till the end.

In fact, Team India lost the toss and batted first in the Super Four of the Asia Cup and scored 173 runs for 8 wickets. In reply, Sri Lanka lost 4 wickets and reached the port of victory with one ball to spare.
