Mirpur : India skipper Ishan Kishan on Sunday blamed poor fielding for his team’s defeat in the final of the U-19 World Cup, saying dropping crucial catches and missing run out chances hampered their cause immensely.
The West Indies out-witted the Rahul Dravid-coached Indian side by five wickets in a tense summit clash to clinch the coveted trophy.
“The bowlers were bowling in the right areas. Even our fielding was good to begin with, but then we dropped some of the catches which were very crucial and missed run outs also,” said a disappointed Kishan.
