TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Shikhar Dhawan on Thursday indicated that there was an option of not playing the T20 International series after losing nine players to COVID-19 related isolation but they chose the difficult route of playing with only five specialist batsmen.
India lost the T20I series 1-2 after suffering a seven-wicket thrashing in the third and final match. “It was a difficult situation for us but as a team, we decided we will stay and play the series,” Dhawan said after the match in Colombo.
Asked about what he learnt as leader of the side, Dhawan said: “Lots of learnings for me as captain. Last game was a close one. Today it was an off day for the batting unit but the boys will learn from it. We lost too many wickets today and the Sri Lanka bowlers bowled well.” He said losing early wickets was a big blow for Indians, who were playing with one batsman short.
