The 32-year-old batsman further said, “We have to pay more attention to the matches ahead and after this defeat, the spirit of taking the field should increase even more. The team needs to play the kind of cricket we have played in this tournament so far. It has to be believed that such matches will definitely come at some stage or the other. We don’t need to think differently about this defeat. We have to be very balanced.”
