When India plays Pakistan on Sunday, the skipper wants every player to leave their imprint.
In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Group A match against Pakistan, India captain Rohit Sharma urged his squad to perform better and stated that they would not be relying only on one player.
Virat Kohli, who joined the team late last week and began the batting against Ireland on Wednesday, may be the centre of attention. But as they want to keep winning on Sunday, Rohit stated at a news conference that he expects every one of his players to contribute.
“I don’t want to rely on one or two individuals to win us the game,” he stated. “I believe we all eleven need to pitch in. There will undoubtedly be important players who will play important roles for us, but I believe that everyone should contribute in whatever manner they can.
“[Virat] didn’t play the Bangladesh [warm-up] game but he’s had enough training under his belt before this game…the kind of experience that he has, playing all over the world, playing in big tournaments, nothing can beat that.”
“I want everyone to try their hardest to make wise judgements, or at least, to make decent ones. As long as you consider your options and base them on what you observe in front of you, you’re giving yourself the best chance of having success.”
