"It was a great fight, but 135 was not enough on this pitch. We should have got about 170," Rahul said.
The right-handed batsman further said that he is happy to see the fight from his team in the past two games - and added that it will increase his team's confidence.
"The boys showed a lot of fight with the ball, we have done that two games in a row. The next three games will be interesting for us as the table looks interesting. It is what it is, we haven't been able to handle the pressure," Rahul said.
"We'll learn more if we play more together as a team. We need to be positive. We have three games, so we need to take one game at a time. We need to go out there and enjoy ourselves. All our games in the UAE have gone down to the wire, hopefully we can build on that," he signed off.
