Virat Kohli Expressed Disappointment over Team’s Poor Fielding

Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli is disappointed with the defeat in the second T20 against West Indies. He has expressed displeasure over the fielding of the team. Virat spoke on poor fielding and said that it would be difficult for any team if such a situation happened. Not only this, he also asked the players to be more 'prompt' during fielding. In the second match of the series played in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Washington Sundar and then wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant dropped the catches of opener Lindl Simmons and Evin Lewis. Later Simmons scored an unbeaten 67 off 45 balls, while Lewis also scored 40 runs in 35 balls. Due to the stormy batting of both, the match went out of India's hands and the West Indies won the match by 8 wickets.

Kohli said after the match, "If our fielding is so bad then we cannot defend any score. Our fielding in the last two matches was very disappointing. We dropped two catches in one over. If we had taken both wickets, the pressure would have increased on them. He said, 'Everyone needs to be prompt in the field."

The Indian team has lost 07 matches in the last 15 matches in T20, batting first. When asked about this figure, Kohli said, "Statistics say a lot. I think we were in a good position to score 140 for 4 in the initial 16 overs batting first but things did not go our way in the last four overs. We should have scored 40-45 runs in this, while we could only score 30 runs. We have to focus on it. 'The Indian captain also praised the batting of left-handed young batsman Shivam Dubey. Kohli said, "We decided to send Dubey to third order which proved to be right." He said, His innings helped us reach 170 runs. To be honest, the West Indies bowled well. They assessed the pitch better than us. They played well so they deserved the win.
