'Important to take wickets up front'

"The wicket looks quite similar to the first game. generally the wicket here tends to play similar throughout. Tactically, we need to understand where we lacked in the first game. It's always important to take wickets up front that is something, which we will be focussing on. To get early wickets. It always builds pressure when you take early wickets that were missing in the first game," Rohit said at the pre-match press conference."Their batsmen kept going after our bowlers. We need to get wickets early in the game, which puts a brake on momentum and slows the run-rate. We have quality bowlers and hopefully they can do better tomorrow," he added.

The much fancied India did cave in against the hosts, but Rohit insists the Men in Blue will come back with better planning in the next game.

"From our point of view, it's very important that we stick to our gameplan. We knew what went wrong in the first match. We will think about it and when we comeback and play the second ODI. It will be a different Indian side obviously we were trying our best in the first game as well but things didn't work out.

"We have got certain plans coming their way hopefully we will try and execute those plans and things will work in our favour then," said the Mumbai batsman.

Going into the game with a must-win scenario does take a lot out of a unit, but Rohit denies the presence of pressure in the Indian dressing room.

"There's no pressure, we just need to come and play the way we have been playing. We just have to get our basics right and be a little more aggressive. This is the same Indian team that played in the world cup so I don't see any reason why we cannot change the results in our favour," said Rohit.

The Indian bowlers might have missed a trick or two in allowing Bangladesh to get over 300 runs but debutant medium pacer Mustafizur Rahman bagged a five-wicket haul to help the hosts post a convincing win.

Rohit failed to remember the left-arm pacer's name at the presser but not his efforts on the field."No I think you know the guy the left-arm seamer bowled really well he was making full use of the conditions. The conditions worked in his favour. And not to forget that we played some stupid shots in the middle as well. But yeah, you got to give credit to them they bowled according to the plan, really well," said Rohit."Obviously the pressure is always with the opposition when you chase 300. Once we lost a couple of wickets they built the pressure really well and bowled according to the field. So credit to them," he added.

Reluctant to comment on the team combination for the next match, Rohit said it's best left to the team management to decide the playing XI.

"See that's up to the management and coach to decide. Whatever they field will suit the team the best they will go ahead with that, as of now I cannot really comment on that. Whatever suits the team the best they will go ahead with that and yeah that will be itIJ," he replied to a query on the team for next match.
