IND vs PAK: "We Want To Focus On The Game, The Mood In The Camp Is Buzzing" - Rohit Sharma Ahead Of Pakistan Clash

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma asserted that the team is focused on the game and the preparation has been good. The pressure will be high but the captain said the mood in the camp is light and energetic.

Ahead of India’s first game of the Asia Cup against arch-rivals, Pakistan, Rohit’s men are keen on forgetting the past. The last time the two teams met, Pakistan won by 10 wickets.

“When we are on the ground, fans want to see the match as well as meet players. As far as the rivalry is concerned when two quality teams play then we see a good match. As players, we just want to focus on our game.”

“Our batting coach decides who will bat in the nets. Virat Kohli has looked in good touch. We have prepared hard for it,” Rohit said in the pre-match press conference.

“The mood in the camp is buzzing. What has happened is past. Take one game at a time. We will be focusing on that. We want to focus on the game. We have not decided on playing eleven. We will look at the pitch and decide accordingly,” he further mentioned.

“Everyone in the squad is in the scheme of things” – Rohit Sharma

Rohit also reckoned that the whole squad is in the thick of things and anybody could feature in the playing XI depending on the conditions at hand.

“Everyone in the squad is in the scheme of things. We have to get the best combination. Dinesh, of late, has played very well. Yesterday we went to the ground and spoke to the curator. He said that there will not be any dew.”

“We do talk about our losses then only we will improve. Loses do hurt but no point thinking about it. Since then we played a lot of games. For us now it is a fresh start. The opposition does throw challenges, you need to respond to it,” Rohit added.
