Rohit Sharma Exudes Carefree Demeanor, Hardik Pandya Returns to Mumbai But Not Yet Joined Squad
Rohit Sharma Talks About His Batting Approach and Hardik Pandya's Injury
Like his batting, Rohit Sharma always exudes a carefree demeanor.
He burst out laughing as the media manager ran through the dos and don'ts of the news conference on Wednesday. The whole thing was monotonous, and Rohit couldn't stop laughing.
Yes, I'm having fun with my batting. But obviously, it's not like I just have to go go spin the bat, keeping in mind the team's circumstances. I have to play smart, spin it well, and maintain the team's favorable position. This is how I think," he remarked.
"The scoreboard is blank when I open. As a result, I have to lead by example as a batsman and think on the game. Since everything is 0-0, I have the advantage—or perhaps you should say the benefit—that I am opening the batting and there is no pressure to take wickets.
Thus, you can be fearless and play the way you want to play when you have to start that way. We experienced some pressure during the Powerplay in the previous game. We had three wickets removed.
I concentrate on what the team needs right then and there as a batsman. The first over, the fifth over, and the tenth over all require different things. How many runs is the team chasing, what is the score, and how much of the score is good on the ground? All of these items. I therefore attempt to play in accordance with whatever the circumstances at the moment require," Rohit said.
Pandya's healing
According to sources who spoke with The Telegraph, Hardik Pandya has returned to Mumbai following his recuperation at the NCA, but he has not yet joined the squad.
"There were many positive things about the procedure he had to go through at the NCA. He is currently unavailable for the match on Thursday. However, we have to watch this injury every day to see how much better he has gotten. Thus, we would like to answer calls on a daily basis, Rohit stated.
The games are played every three to four days. As a result, we regularly monitor the situation. Given his progress, it is possible that we will have the opportunity to see him soon. For now, that is all I have to say.
