Suddenly the loss of a series (in South Africa) doesn’t mean that there is a panic that we need to create. (There are) certain understandings and learnings that we need to take into our game... the South Africa series was a great learning for us as to what we didn’t do collectively as a team,” he added at a virtual press conference ahead of the first of the three ODIs against West Indies.
