Rohit Sharma asks Ajinkya Rahane about the atmosphere in the Caribbean
Rohit Sharma also asked Ajinkya Rahane about how the batters should focus on the game when the conditions and the atmosphere in the West Indies are so cool, calm & with a laid-back lifestyle.
Here's what Rohit asked:
"The atmosphere here is so chilled. What mindset do the batters need to keep to ensure that they focus on the job at hand?"
On this, Rahane stated:
"Whichever country that we travel to, we have to adapt to the conditions and keep our focus on what's happening on the ground. We need not focus on whatever happens beyond the ground."
Rahane's comeback to the Indian team has been nothing short of sensational. His performances in the World Test Championship final would have given him a lot of confidence to do well in the West Indies. He also has an incredible record in the Caribbean, averaging above a hundred.
