'We leaked more runs, could have gone with better plans' - Naman Dhir on India's bowling ahead of 3rd ODI vs West Indies

Ahead of their third fixture against West Indies, Indian all-rounder Naman Dhir addressed the media to discuss his team's bowling struggles during the opening two matches. The bowling unit yielded 177 runs during the power-play across both games in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati, managing only a single wicket in the initial ten overs.

Dhir noted that alternative tactics could have limited the scoring on the batting-friendly Guwahati pitch, where the opposition accumulated 405 runs, though he added that upcoming conditions in South Africa will offer more bounce to pace bowlers. Dhir also detailed his specific team responsibilities following his ODI debut, noting that management designated him to bat at number six or seven and function as a reserve bowling option, mirroring his previous experience in the Indian Premier League.
