IND vs SA: "Kuch Toh Jeetna Banta Hai.."- Rohit Sharma Fires Massive Warning To South Africa After World Cup Hurt
India suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Australia in the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. A dejected Rohit Sharma was left in tears after the loss in the finals. He took a month???s rest before returning to the field. Rohit Sharma has kept everything aside for now and his main focus is on the two-match Test series against South Africa which will commence on December 26 at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Rohit Sharma has had a difficult couple of months with India losing the World Cup and him being removed from the captaincy role for Mumbai Indians. However, when he attended the press conference ahead of the first Test between India and South Africa, he was optimistic about winning and was in high spirits. Rohit Sharma talked to the media about winning the first-ever Test series in South Africa. However, he said that even a Test series win here might not be able to take away the pain of a World Cup final loss.
He said that after working so hard, at least India deserves to win something. Rohit Sharma is leading the team for the first time in a Test series in SENA countries. He has a chance at creating history by winning the series and becoming the first-ever Indian skipper to win a test series in South Africa.
???We have never won a series here and it???ll be a big thing if we do it here. I don???t know whether it???ll be able to take away the pain of World Cup defeat. If we are able to achieve it then it???ll be a good thing. Itna mehnat Kiya hai toh kuch toh jitna banta hai (we have worked so hard we should at least win something),??? Sharma said in the press conference.
On scripting history in South Africa: We have never won a series here and it???ll be a big thing if we do it here. I don???t know whether it???ll be able to take away the pain of World Cup defeat. If we are able to achieve it then it???ll be a good thing. Itna mehnat Kiya hai toh kuch???
Rohit Sharma Doesn???t Have A Good Record In South Africa
Rohit Sharma???s test record in South Africa is a thing to worry about for the Indian team. The Indian skipper has played four Test matches in South Africa and has only managed to accumulate 123 runs without scoring a single fifty-plus score. He has to prove himself in this series as a batter and as well as a skipper. Rohit will be opening the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
This series is a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma to etch his name in the history of Indian cricket. He will be looking to win the test series and he has a great chance this time with the Indian team in good form and South Africa lacking experience in both batting and bowling fronts. The top six of the Proteas line-up is currently brittle and Team India should capitalise on these situations and look to win the match.
