We need to be good in execution: Nicholas Pooran

Wi vs Ind - Nicholas Pooran - Rohit Sharma

Losing the match against India, Nicholas Pooran shared a lot about their performance in this series in the post-match presentation. "We were just not good enough. We didn't learn from our mistakes. We just weren't up to the challenge, just didn't put enough partnerships.

To come up against tough teams, we need to be good in execution. Be it in the batting group or bowling group, we have a lot of catching up to do. I just hope that we as a team learn from these losses," Nicholas Pooran was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"We're building towards the World Cup and hopefully we can do that right. (On Jason Holder opening the batting) Obviously, King and Mayers didn't play today, so we needed someone to open. Just thought of giving him an opportunity to bat higher up.

We all know what he can do down the order. It (playing two spinners) is something we have to think about in the future. India have shown why they are better than us in this series," he added.

Besides, after winning the match against West Indies, Rohit Sharma and his men took a ride in a buggy and were seen happy with their performance in this series against the Caribbean side.
