Indian bowlers leaked 80 runs in the last 5 overs while defending 222 as Glenn Maxwell's 47-ball-hundred, included 23 runs off the final over from Prasidh Krishna, who was smashed four boundaries and a six.
For the record, Krishna's 0/68 in 4 overs is the worst T20I figure by any Indian bowler.
"I don't think so it's a concern because it's almost like you are bowling with a wet ball. And it's really tough on them," Gaikwad told reporters during the post-match press conference.
"In these kinds of conditions, 12 runs per over or even 13 or 14 runs per over is gettable, even while we are chasing, In the first game, how easily we managed to chase 210," he cited an example.

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has welcomed the Supreme Court's verdict on the role of the governor, who is the ex-officio chancellor of state-run universities, in the appointment of vice-chancellors, asserting the apex court has clarified the legal position of the chancellor in the matter.

The court made it very clear that the state government of any state should keep off university administration, particularly in the appointment of VCs," Bose told reporters her
