“So, you can imagine the kind of thinking we need to put in. We don’t know on which pitch we are playing (against Pakistan), so, whoever plays better cricket will win the match,” he added.
Rohit added that the sluggishness of the outfield has exacerbated the worries.
“The outfield is slow. Some shots get lot of bounce on the field, and some others do not roll on the field. So running between the wickets is important. We need to play as per conditions,” he defined.
However, the captain emphasised that such exterior components will also be conquer by way of enjoying magnificient cricket, noting that his teammates frequently excel in difficult cases. Republic of India can even raise extra self belief into the fit, given Pakistan’s fresh surprising loss to competition debutants USA of their opening recreation.
“Playing good cricket holds the key, not opposition, not pitch. Yes, it’s tough but that’s why I would like to highlight the experience we have. The blows count for nothing,” stated Rohit, relating to the hits he and Rishabh Pant took of their tournament-opener in opposition to Eire because of the asymmetric jump.
Republic of India will face the problem of Pakistan’s bold rapid bowlers like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf on Sunday. Rohit discovered sympathy within the group’s prior revel in of enjoying in pace-friendly situations similar to Australia and South Africa.
“When we play in places like South Africa, and Australia, we have to overcome the challenges. Gabba Test is one big example. We thrive in these difficult moments.
“It’s the International Cup so not anything can get larger than this. The blows will also be secondary and striking the group’s motive comes first,” said Rohit.
The Mumbaikar hinted that Rishabh Pant will continue to bat at No. 3 as he did against Ireland.
“I had to have a look at Rishabh within the few video games in IPL to form up my thoughts on the place he’ll bat within the International Cup,” he said.
India have historically held an advantage over Pakistan in World Cups, but Rohit Sharma emphasized that they won’t rely solely on past records. He also stressed that there is no extra pressure when playing against their arch-rivals.
“Not anything adjustments. Now we have performed them seven months again within the Asia Cup and (ODI) International Cup. However T20 is unpredictable. That’s what T20 cricket is all about.
“Last World Cup, Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe but ended up playing the final. On your day anyone can beat anyone,” he added.
