Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, is considering the possibility of playing three spinners against Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium. However, he is unsure whether to stick with Shardul Thakur or bring in Ravichandran Ashwin, the senior off-spinner. When asked about the track conditions, Rohit responded by saying that he doesn’t know and that they are prepared to make any necessary changes. He also mentioned that the players have been informed in advance about possible alterations to the team. If the situation requires, they are ready to play three spinners.
During the previous Cricket World Cup, Rohit Sharma scored five centuries and served as the vice-captain of the team. In this edition of the tournament, as the captain, he has set a world record by scoring seven hundreds in ODI World Cups.
When asked about the changes that have occurred in the past four years, Rohit stated that not much has changed. He knows what he needs to do to be successful as a player and as a captain. Speaking specifically about his role as a batsman, he mentioned that he has certain boxes to tick before each game in order to gain confidence. For Rohit, preparation is crucial. He believes that he has done everything he can to prepare himself for each game, as every day presents new challenges.
Rohit emphasized the importance of understanding his own game and the expectations of the team. He tries his best to fulfill those expectations, but he is also aware that not everything always goes according to plan. As long as he knows that he has prepared to the best of his ability, he is satisfied.
Regarding the match against Pakistan, Rohit doesn’t believe that he needs to have a separate discussion with his players. He sees it as just another match and approaches it in the same way as any other game. He wants his team to prepare and perform the same way they do for every match. He believes there is no need for anything extra.
In contrast, the Pakistani team seems to be feeling immense pressure, as indicated by a pep talk video from PCB management committee chairman Zaka Ashraf. However, Rohit’s focus remains on his own team and their approach to the game.
