Key Highlights
- Indian team’s T20 cricket captain Rohit Sharma told his team not to worry about the positions and just keep moving forward.
- One should always be better than not being in form, says Rohit Sharma
- Rohit Sharma believes that one can move from strength to strength by giving ample opportunities
The said to be the cornerstone of the Indian Cricket Team Rohit Sharma now has brought back the lost strength of the Indian side, boosting its confidence with leaps and bounds. The T20I that took place between the two greatest teams, India and Sri Lanka, came to an end last yesterday, in which India won the series by 3-0, thrashing the Sri-Lankan brutally. This is indeed great confidence to the Indian cricket team where they were smashed recently by the South African team by 3-0. The Indian team even lost their test series with the Caribbeans when Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were the captains then.
Rohit Sharma seemed very happy with their performance this time and said,
“We do understand at times that we’ve held back but it’s important to tell the guys that you don’t have to worry about your positions in the team. We want to fill whatever gaps we do have. We just want to move forward,”
Comprehending the challenges of picking the best XI based on their performances, Rohit expressed it to be a different ball game altogether.
“It’s going to be a big challenge but it’s nice to have guys in form rather than not in form. It’s a factor of everything that comes together. We played together and we played very well. A lot of positives from this series.”
The skipper was happy to give almost every player the time to play the white ball matches and said,
“That is something we’ve kept in mind – good to give opportunities to a few of those guys. If the guys take the opportunity the way some of these guys have taken, you can move from strength to strength.”
One of the key players who performed terrifically in the series was Shreyas Iyer who made 3 half-centuries in the total series and amassed in 200+ runs. Being happy with his run board, he said,
“Obviously, all three fifties were special for me. Yesterday, winning the series…so yeah the last one (2nd T20I),”
And further adding,
“To be honest, the wicket was a bit two-paced today and I was playing on merit and trying to punish the loose balls. You just have to back your instincts and be positive.”
Currently, the player Shreyas Iyer is expected to lead the team of Kolkata Knight Riders. Previously, the player was seen associated with Delhi Capitals but due to health issues has to be ruled out and Rishabh Pant took place ever since.
