"There are certain ideas, certain plans in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn't come off and that's disappointing for me. Those guys showed how to bat on these surfaces (on Pant, Jaiswal and Gill), you've got to be slightly ahead and be proactive when we play on a pitch like that we are playing on such pitches in the last 3-4 years, we know how to play (and play well).

“But this series, it didn't come off, certain things (on how to bat in such pitches) which didn't come off, and that's going to hurt.

But, we didn't perform well collectively and that's the reason for these losses,” said Rohit Sharma following India's loss against New Zealand in the test series.
