"We understand the importance of the game"- Rohit Sharma on clash with Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022
Speaking at a press conference organized by the ICC ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022, Rohit Sharma acknowledged the intense build-up and pressure ahead of the clash against Pakistan. The Indian skipper opened up about how he and Babar Azam don't converse about all that but indulge in light exchanges surrounding their families.
Rohit Sharma said:
โWe understand the importance of the game (an India vs Pakistan match), but thereโs no point talking about it every time and creating that pressure within yourself. Whenever we meet - we chatted during the Asia Cup as well - we always talk about our families and all."
Shedding light on the preparations leading up to the tournament, Sharma added:
โWe had two practice games in Perth and two more to go. For our game on 23rd, we will be well prepared. Whoever is going to play, we have given them a fair idea. I don't believe in last-minute decisions. It is important to inform players who are going to play, so they can prepare from their end as well.โ
Team India is currently in Brisbane, where they will play two warm-up games against Australia and New Zealand on October 17 and 19 respectively.
Mohammed Shami, who has replaced Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian T20 World Cup squad, has already reached Brisbane and will look to get some much-needed game time in both games.
