‘We have to bat better’: Roston Chase after WI innings defeat to India in 1st Test

Ahmedabad, Oct 4

West Indies captain Roston Chase believes that the team must work hard on their batting, especially if they’re playing on Indian soil, where putting up a big total on the board is crucial. Notably, India beat the Windies by an innings and 140 runs on Day 3 of the first Test in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

“I didn't think the timing was off. I think when we did take it, we didn't make the batsmen play enough. We needed to test them more. Batting is the main problem. Batsmen needed to form partnerships and we didn't even get a fifty-run stand and in cricket you need partnerships, whether you're batting or bowling.”

India lead the two-match series 1-0, with the second and final Test scheduled to begin at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on October 10.
