Asia Cup 2022: Need To Rotate Players To Create India's Bench Strength: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, believes that having a strong bench strength is essential because cricket is played all year round. The team is working to develop one with an eye toward the future.

India has been experimenting with their squads since their shocking group-stage exit from the most recent T20 World Cup, with injuries and fatigue management also playing a role.

On the Star Sports program “Follow the Blues,” Rohit remarked, “We play a lot of cricket, therefore there will be injuries and work scheduling, so we have to rotate people.”

“However, it provides our bench strength to go participate in the game, which is why we could test so many different players who were prepared to perform on an international stage” he continued.

“We want to build up our reserve capacity so that India’s future is in capable hands. That is the kind of planning we are attempting.” India is now preparing to be led by Rohit in the upcoming T20 tournament in Australia, but the Asia Cup must come first.”

‘It’s just about getting better every day as a team: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma stated that the goal should be to improve as a team daily.

Rohit remarked, “I do not know what to expect next, but for me specifically, it is simply about becoming better every day as a team.”

“That cannot take precedence, whether you win or lose the series. The question of whether or not we are improving as a team should come first.”

“The team’s objective is crucial, as are the sections of it where individuals participate and contribute to the team’s success. But whatever the team is attempting, each person needs to support that idea and move in that direction.”

India’s campaign in this year’s tournament will kick off with a heavyweight clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on August 28.
