India’s scorching run within the World Cup has heightened expectations about a triumphant coronation when the match concludes on Nov. 19. However, skipper Rohit Sharma pressured about the necessity to simply have a look at the speedy match.
“You don’t think that far. You deal with the match on hand, try and play good cricket and then move onto the next match. We aren’t thinking about staying unbeaten and all. Every day is a fresh day,” Rohit advised the media right here on Wednesday.
Asked about the way in which he has gone about his batting, Rohit defined: “As an opener I step in at zero for zero and then I try to set up the tempo, gauge the pitch, identify how many runs need to be scored or how much would be ideal on a pitch. Last game against England, we lost some early wickets and then I had to bat according to that situation. All I can say is that I am enjoying my batting.”
Queried about rotation of bowlers and fielding an additional spinner, the captain replied: “The bowlers are in good rhythm and the feedback is that they want to keep playing matches. As for fielding three spinners, if the conditions demand, then I have no hesitation in playing two seamers and three spinners. It all depends on the pitch and conditions.”
And about Thursday’s sport towards Sri Lanka on the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit stated: “We have seen various results and we cannot call them upsets as all teams compete to win. We can’t say this game (against Sri Lanka) will be a cakewalk. We will focus on our plans and try to win the game. As for the 2011 World Cup final, only a few players from that match are still playing. We deal with this game as a fresh challenge.”
