In the post-match presentation, he said that the Indian team were discussing in the dressing room the need to wait for the ball to get wet as it would make the batting easy.
"Quite disappointed with the way I got out day before yesterday. It was important for me to finish the game along with Rohit bhai and we did that. He (Rohit) is the kind of player who likes to take the bowlers on aerial. I am the kind of player who likes to hit more boundaries than aerial. That combination works quite well for us. (On Nepal's bowling) They bowled very well with the new ball, they challenged us. We knew once the ball gets wet, it'll get easier for the batsmen. That's what the talk was in the dressing room," Shubman said after the match. (Asia Cup 2023: KL Rahul Set To Join Team India In Sri Lanka, Clears All Fitness Tests, See Pics Here)
