For Me, It Is Important To Focus On My Job And Not To Focus On What People Are Talking About – India Captain Rohit Sharma

Newly-appointed India white-ball captain Rohit Sharma has said that for him it is important to concentrate on his job and ignore what people talk outside because it is something that is not in his control.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) senior selection committee on Wednesday made a big announcement regarding Rohit Sharma getting a leadership role in all three formats of the game.

In the statement, it was mentioned that Rohit will be the captain of India in ODIs and T20Is also he was made vice-captain in Test cricket. Notably, Virat Kohli stepped down from the T20I captaincy and the BCCI requested him not to do so but he did not agree and relinquished the T20I captaincy. Meanwhile, the selectors didn’t want to have two white-ball captains in the team so they sacked him.

When You Are Playing Cricket For India, The Pressure Is Always Going To Be High – Rohit Sharma

The India white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma in an exclusive chat with the BCCI said that the pressure is always high when someone plays cricket for India. He elaborated:

“When you are playing cricket for India, the pressure is always going to be high. The pressure is always going to be there. There will be a lot of people talking about it; be it positively or negatively. For me, personally, as a cricketer, it is important to focus on my job and not to focus on what people are talking about because you can’t control that. I have said it a million times and I will keep repeating it.”

Captain Rohit Sharma also had a message for the team and he said that the players will have to focus only on the game and avoid outside talks which is immaterial. He added that the bond between the players is a thing that matters the most so the players will have to share a strong bond and that will help India achieve success. He asserted:

“This is also the same message to the team and the team understand that when we are playing a high-profile tournament, there will be a lot of talks. It’s just important for us to focus on what we have in hand; which is to go and win games and play the way you are known for. So, those talks outside are immaterial. What we think of each other is more important. You want to share a strong bond between players and that is what will help us achieve the goal we want to.”
