IND vs PAK: "Prepared For Any Scenario": Rohit Sharma On The Rain Affecting The Pakistan Match

Indian captain Rohit Sharma recognized the rain threat foreboding over the October 23 match against Pakistan and stated that the team is prepared for a shortened encounter because these things cannot be controlled.

India kicks off their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday, October 23.

“We have to be prepared for whatever comes our way. These things are not in our hands. We will come thinking that it is a 40-over match and if not then we are ready for even a 20-over match,” said Rohit Sharma on the possibility of having a rain-curtailed encounter.

Additionally, he claimed that Pakistan beat India in the 2021 T20 World Cup because they played better and that the Men in Blue won the 2022 Asia Cup despite Pakistan defeating his team in the second game of the same tournament.

“We had a successful run. We wanted to address all of the issues. Having participated in 35 T20 games. We addressed all of these issues before the World Cup. We believe we can achieve our goals in the World Cup.”

“Pakistan outplayed us in the 2021 World Cup because they played better, and they beat us in the Asia Cup after we beat them in a previous match. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to assess them twice during the Asia Cup “said the ace batter

“Shami has so much experience”: Rohit Sharma

Before the crucial match, Indian captain Virat Kohli discussed Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement in the squad, Mohammad Shami, citing Shami’s experience as a key reason for including him in the squad.

“Shami has so much experience. When Bumrah was injured we wanted to have someone experienced. We know he is very good with the new ball. We wanted to give him an old ball and throw a challenge at him. He is very much ready,” stated Rohit Sharma.

The Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, will begin their campaign on October 23 against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Super 12 stage of the 8th ICC T20 World Cup, which is currently being played in Australia.
