Skipper Ajinkya Rahane insisted that his side performed “pretty well” during the short limited overs cricket series. India lost by 10 runs in the second T20 on Sunday to wrap up the tour with a tinge of disappointment after claiming the ODI series 3-0. “Guys played pretty well. We got two hundreds Rayudu and Jadhav and Vijay and me got fifties. But still we have to improve as a batting unit. Guys have to lift their game here. There’s always a good thing when there’s healthy competition so we enjoy that. I’m sure this will get Indian cricket better day by day,” Rahane told reporters. “We are disappointed with this loss but you have to appreciate our boys as well. They have played some good cricket throughout the tour. In a T20 anything can happen,” he added. Talking about Sunday’s match, Rahane said the home team deserved credit for coming good during the last match of the tour. “We have to give credit to Zimbabwe because I feel they played really well today. Throughout the series they played well. But today their bowling and fielding were really up to the mark. Their energy was pretty good, but I felt their spinners bowled in the right areas. They got two good run outs and they took a couple of good catches,” he said.
