Not pleased with his team’s display with the willow, India skipper Hardik Pandya on Sunday said batters have to take more responsibility going forward. India put up another underwhelming batting display as they could manage only 152-7 in the second T20I against the West Indies, which the hosts won by two wickets. The total was only a touch better than the 145-9 they managed in the first game.
“If I am being honest that was a not a pleasing batting performance. The wickets were falling and the track was on the slower side. We could have batted better. 160 plus or 170 would have been a good total. “Batters need to take more responsibility,” Hardik said at the post-match presentation. India trail the five-match series 0-2 with the likes of Shubaman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson failing to score runs.
