#4 Indians were over-cautious in the power play overs
There is no denying the fact that Rohit Sharma is one of the best limited-overs batsmen in the world. He has a template to bat in shorter formats of the game and he does it brilliantly in ODIs.
However, he has struggled when it comes to T20 cricket. His lack of intentions in the power play overs has hurt India badly. Rohit Sharma was too slow to start and played seven dot balls in his innings of 5 runs off 9 balls.
Shikhar Dhawan too did not show any rush and took his time. India scored only 31 runs in the power play and lost three crucial wickets. India needs at least one of their opening batsman to show some urgency in the power play overs.
