Team India’s captain Virat Kohli feels his team needs to improve their batting skills in order to better their overseas record. India thumped the Windies by 10 wickets on Sunday to clinch the two-match series in three days.
“Bowling was never the question overseas and I have always maintained that if we could bat better we could win overseas.” Virat Kohli said.
“I am pleased to see these guys taking twenty wickets. I am sure we’ve learnt from the last series, we applied ourselves better in India with the bat much better and we’d like to take that ahead as well”, he added.
Against England, after winning the T20I series 2-1, they lost both the ODI (1-2) and Test series (1-4). If it wasn’t for Kohli, who finished as the Test series highest run scorer with 593 runs, no other Indian batsman could breach the 300-run mark. Evidently, India’s batting let them down in the Test series while their bowlers continued to shine. Indian pacer Ishant Sharma finished as the series’ second highest wicket-taker with 18 scalps to his name.
