No total will be good enough if we field so poorly: Virat Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ Indian captain Virat Kohli said that the hosts” poor fielding cost them dearly in their second T20I against the West Indies on Sunday. West Indies won the match that was played at the Greenfield International stadium in Thiruvananthapuram by eight wickets to level the series.

“If we field so poorly, no amount of runs will be enough. We were poor with the field in the last two games. We dropped two catches in one over,” he said in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Openers Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis were both provided lifelines by dropped catches in the fifth over of the match. Apart from these, there were a slew of misfields, including mistakes from Ravindra Jadeja who is considered one of the best fielders in the world.
