IND vs PAK 2022: [Watch] "We feel confident that we can achieve what we want to"- Rohit Sharma and co. look prepared for India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match
Team India captain Rohit Sharma believes the Men in Blue have prepared themselves really well and are ready to begin their pursuit of the T20 World Cup with their opening game against Pakistan on Sunday.
The captain spoke about how India have looked to define the brand with which they want to play their cricket and also address some key areas where they can improve. Here's what he said to reporters ahead of the high-octane clash:
"Coming into this World Cup, we have prepared well. India vs Pakistan is a big encounter. We have spoken about a few things, how we want to bat and bowl, so it is very important for us to be good in these two departments. We shouldn't forget fielding as well because it is going to play an important role. And now it is the time to execute those plans as a team. We feel confident that we can achieve what we want to as a group."
In a video posted by BCCI on Sunday, Rohit and his men were seen sweating it out at the MCG and working hard on all three facets of the game. They looked focused and determined to get their campaign off to a winning start.

Here's to putting your best foot forward at the T20 World Cup. Goodluck boys. 🇮🇳💪 @BCCI https://t.co/i7gDzoIkUF
