"Need To Get Our Act Together": Rohit Sharma On India's Death Bowling

India vs South Africa: India's death overs bowling issues is not a concern but the team does need to improve its execution at the back end of the match, said skipper Rohit Sharma.

India's death overs bowling issues is not a concern but the team does need to improve its execution at the back end of the match, said skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday. Invited to bat, India posted a massive 237 for 3 but South Africa recovered from a disastrous start to take the game deep before eventually falling short by 16 runs as the hosts claimed their first win over the Proteas in a T20 series at home. "The team wants to play and bowl in a certain way and we want to give them that freedom. Yes, we have not really bowled well in the death in the last five or six games. But that is the area where people will challenge us and we are doing the same to the opposition as well," Rohit said in the post-match presentation.

"To bowl and bat at the death is very tough. That is where the game is decided. I wouldn't say it's concerning, but it's definitely an area we need to pick ourselves up and get our act together."

India's top four batters once again put on a solid display and Rohit said they would look to continue their ultra-aggressive batting approach.

"It is something that all of us came together and we said this is what we wanted to do as a team. It might not come across at times, but we want to stick to it," he said.

"What I have seen in the last 8-10 months is individuals putting their hand up and getting the job done for the team. Guys without too much experience did this as well."
