India Seeks Team Effort for Crucial T20 World Cup Match Against Pakistan
Rohit Sharma Downplays Reliance on Individual Stars, Emphasizes Mental Toughness
For their crucial match against Pakistan in New York on Sunday, the Indian think tank is not depending on any one person.
In the final T20 World Cup encounter versus Pakistan, it was Virat Kohli's 82 not out off 53 balls that proved to be the difference.
"I don't want to depend on just one or two players to win the match for us. I believe everyone of the eleven of us must contribute. Of course, some players will be crucial to our success, as captain Rohit Sharma stated on Saturday.
However, I believe that everyone should contribute in whatever way they can. Regarding Virat, he has sufficient training experience under his belt. He didn't have a fantastic performance in the first game, but he trained yesterday.
"We won't be investigating that too much. Nothing compares to the kind of experience he has gained from competing in major events throughout the globe. Everyone bears some of the blame.
Though Rohit isn't reading too much into the Nassau County Ground's erratic pitch, it's already a talking point.
Many of these men have a great deal of experience, and as you might imagine, their mental toughness is the reason they are representing the nation. Everything is with them. The skipper continued, "I wouldn't say they are much more skillful; rather, it has more to do with the way they approach it emotionally.
