"We used the conditions really well"- India captain Rohit Sharma after victory vs Australia in 2024 T20 World Cup
At the post-match presentation, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma reflected on the win and said:
"We played well, kept doing the things we are supposed to do, can take a lot of confidence from a game like that. 200 was a good score, when you're playing where wind is such a great factor, anything is possible. We used the conditions really well, all about it. We've spoken a lot about how we want to do things, was very pleasing how we went through those overs and got those wickets."
On the road ahead for his side in the knockout matches, Rohit continued:
"We don't want to do anything different, play the same way. Play freely, not thinking what lies ahead of us. Important to play our cricket and play it well. Semi-finals, we've got to do the same things. It'll be nice, nothing changes for us. We want to focus on what we can do as a team and take the game on."
