Indian captain Rohit Sharma believes if his players can stay calm and composed in crunch situations of the big matches, they will get the results in the T20 World Cup 2022. India had last won a major ICC tournament back in 2013 and Rohit would want to lead his team to glory.
Team India has been performing consistently in recent times in bilateral series but they haven’t been able to go all the way in the major events, which has been a big disappointment.
Rohit added that the aim is to focus on the process and they will get the results if they come up with collective efforts. India has the players who can take them to glory and it will be imperative for them to deliver the goods for the team.
“If individuals can keep themselves calm and composed during the game we will get the results – that’s we are looking for. It has been a while since we won the World Cup,” said Rohit in a video posted on Bcci.tv.
“The motive and thought process is to win the World Cup but we know we need to do a lot of things right to get there. So one step at a time for us and focus on each team we are going to come against and not think about semis or finals,” he added.
Rohit is leading India for the first time in a World Cup and he added that it is an honor for him to lead the national team in the big event.
“It is a big honor to captain the side. My first World Cup as captain so I am excited about it. It is great opportunity to come here and do something special,” he said.
“Every time you come for a World Cup it is a great feeling. We had a great camp (training) in Perth. We won two series at home recently but Australia will be a different challenge. Conditions will be challenging but there is a reason why we came here early,” he said.
India will take on Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday in a high-octane clash and Rohit feels it will be imperative for the players to keep calm and focused.
“It is a big game to start with but we are going to keep relaxed and focus on what we need to do as individuals. That is going to be the key for us,” Rohit said.
