Rajkot: Following the crushing seven-wicket defeat in first T20I against Bangladesh, India captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said the pressure is not just on any particular department, but on the entire team to perform in the remaining two matches of the series. India were able to put up a par-score of 148 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday and it was pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who was hit for four boundaries by Mushfiqur Rahim in the 19th over that changed the complexion of the game.

"Pressure is just on the team to perform, as simple as that. Not a particular department. You've lost as a team, you've not lost as a bowling unit. So the focus will be on the team," Rohit told reporters on the eve of the second match. "The batsmen need to get the job done, the bowlers need to come out and take those crucial wickets. That will be the idea. We are not focusing on any individual departments. Because we lost as a team, not as individuals," he added.
