Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has made a major statement ahead of his departure for Sri Lanka for the Asian Cup. Rohit Sharma’s testimony is being debated everywhere. Come on, let’s take a look at what the hitman said in detail.
Before leaving for Sri Lanka, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said: “It is important for me to feel comfortable and not to worry about external factors that can play a positive or negative role. I want to enter that phase.” I was in that phase before the 2019 World Cup. I was in very good shape mentally and had prepared very well for the tournament.
The hitman continued, “I had a good rhythm and attitude. I want to bring it back and I have time for it. I try to reiterate the right things that happened as a cricketer and as a person.” I did that before the 2019 World Cup.
The outcome of the World Cup can change many things, but Rohit said a month of cricket can make neither the success nor the failure of the player he is. The Indian captain said a person cannot be changed overnight by success or failure. I don’t think a single result or championship can change me as a person. I haven’t changed as a person in the last 16 years. I don’t think it needs a change.
Rohit said: “The focus will be on how to achieve my goals for myself and the team over the next two months. A person cannot change in a month or two.”
Rohit has won five titles as captain of team Mumbai Indians while he won the 2018 Asian Cup title as Indian captain. In June of this year, the team was also in the final of the World Test Championship under his leadership.
Asked if he reflects on his legacy in Indian cricket after playing for 16 years. Rohit said: No. I am not the type of person to think about the legacy I will leave behind. My legacy will be that people can judge and debate. I can not say that.
Rohit has racked up more than 17,000 international runs with the help of 30 ODIs, 10 Tests and four T20 International Centurys. He said, “I don’t believe in numbers much.” You should be happy and enjoy the coming time. Try to live in those moments. I think about what will make me happy.
Rohit now faces the difficult challenge of getting at least three of the core group’s 18 players to say they won’t be part of the 15-man world squad. When Rohit was 23 years old, he didn’t get a spot on the 2011 World Cup team either. No one knows the pain of not being on the team better than he does.
Regarding this, he said that when choosing the best combination, there will be players who will not make the team for various reasons and Rahul Bhai (Dravid) and I have tried our best to explain to the players why they do that are not part of the team. Sometimes I try to put myself in their shoes. Not being called up in 2011 was a heartbreaking moment for me and I know how it feels to be left out of the World Cup squad.
Rohit has no problem accepting that his and Dravid’s choices can sometimes be wrong. He said: “Me, the coach and the players take into account all aspects like the opposing team, the surface, our strengths and weaknesses and then come to an agreement.” There is a possibility that we are not always perfect.
In the end, some individuals decide and as human beings we can make mistakes, said the Indian captain. We won’t always be right. When asked who comforted him after he wasn’t included in the 2011 World Cup squad, Rohit said: “I was sad and sat in my room.” I remember Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) taking me to his room called and took her to dinner.
He went on to say he told me how it felt not to get a spot on the team. He told me the best thing is that you still have so many years ahead of you. If we play at this World Cup, you can take the opportunity to work hard on your game and your skills and make a comeback as a team. There is no reason why you shouldn’t play for India or not get a chance to play in the World Cup.
Then, in 2011, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the bowlers thought an extra wrist spinner in the form of Piyush Chawla would be more useful than an extra batsman. If a hit has become Rohit’s identity over the years, it’s the pull shot that gets him success, but sometimes he has to take the brunt of it.
When asked how many times he had practiced the draw shot at net against throwers, Rohit said, “I don’t need to do any special training to play this shot.” Referring to the three support staff, he said that Raghu (Raghvendra ), Nuvan (Senaviratne) and Daya (Garani) have all joined the team in recent years and I’ve been playing this loft for a long time.
