We want to challenge ourselves in the areas we are slightly uncomfortable with and the bowlers are not used to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to try and do that. Keeping all of those things in mind, we\u2019ll try and do whatever is possible but not at the cost of the game. We want to make sure that we come out on top and play the game well. All in all, today was a good day for us,\u201d he said at the post match presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India gunned down the 159-run target in 17.3 overs. Shivam Dube starred with an unbeaten 60 off 40 balls and also took a wicket with his medium pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are lot of positives. Shivam Dube, the way Jitesh batted, Tilak as well and then Rinku is in good form as well.\u201d Rohit could not open his account after a mix up with Shubman Gill resulted in his run out. In a rare sight, the India skipper vented out his anger following the miscommunication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese things happen (on the run-out). When it happens you feel frustrated, you want to be out there and score runs for the team. Everything will not go your way. We won the game, that\u2019s more important. I wanted Gill to carry on, unfortunately got out after playing a very good little innings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rohit gone for duck \ud83d\ude2d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RohitSharma?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RohitSharma<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gill?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gill<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndvsAfg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndvsAfg<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INDvAFG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#INDvAFG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xpSGnreCm5\">pic.twitter.com\/xpSGnreCm5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Shubham Chand (@shubhamchand768) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shubhamchand768\/status\/1745465946972750202?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 11, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was really cold.
