Rohit Sharma (India Captain) pre-match
Rohit Sharma (India Captain) pre-match Press Conference - 26th June 2024
Reporter:]
What's the big takeaway for you as batsman and the team from the victory against Australia. One big takeaway.
[Rohit Sharma:]
That there's no more Australian cricket team in this competition. No, look, I think Australia is a great side, without a doubt. That's probably the reason they have won so many championships. But for us, the last game, I think the confidence, the game we played with, with our bat, with our ball, I think that is something that we can take away with us, that confidence of bowlers executing their plans, batters going out there and doing their job. So, I think that was the big one for us and when you play a game against a quality team, top team and when you win like that, everything falling into place, that can give you so much confidence and I think this format is all about confidence. As long as you are confident in what you want to do - you are putting the right you're putting the foot in the right direction and that is what we wanted from that game we wanted to take a lot of confidence that is getting the job done, putting the runs on the board and then bowlers trying to defend that score. We know the batting lineup that Australia has. No score is safe. But for us to defend and win by 20-odd runs was a great confidence moving ahead and into this game. And personally, for me as well, I wanted to try and do something which I've been trying to do for a number of years, which is to try and put pressure on the bowlers in whatever way I can. And for me to do that was a great satisfaction at the end of the day.
[Reporter:]
In the pre-match, pre-departure press conference, you had spoken about the four spinners and the confidentiality behind it. Is it now the time to reveal the trump card? Why did you say you are bringing 4 spinners?
[Rohit Sharma:]
Teams bring 5 seamers also – that doesn’t mean they will play 5 seamers.
[Reporter:]
But you had said there is a secret behind it.
[Rohit Sharma:]
There is no secret. We have played 3 spinners no; in New York we were playing 2 spinners. Here we are playing 3 spinners. So, if we will feel it necessary to play 4 spinners then we will play. But we will see. We will assess. Till now, we have not seen the pitch properly. It was covered for a long time. So now there is rolling going on - So we will assess, we will see what is the right combination.
[Reporter:]
Rohit, it's a repeat of the last T20 World Cup semi-final. For you as captain as well as for the team, what has changed from then, from 2022 to 2024?
[Rohit Sharma:]
Honestly, I mean, not a lot has changed because, see, when you want to approach, whenever you approach an international game and this being ICC T20 World Cup, we’ve tried to do play with very free mind in the last two or three years that we've played our T20 cricket and even the ODI cricket as well. So not a lot has changed as such. It all depends on basically what the condition has to offer. We saw throughout this tournament; the conditions had its own challenges. New York was completely different. And now we've come here in West Indies, it's been totally different. And we want to do that, we want to be a smart cricket team, we want to assess and play, like when we played the last game and even before that as well, the moment we realise it's a good pitch, we want to play the way we play. And that is up for all you guys to see how we want to play. And I have tried and kept things very simple for myself personally as well and also for the team because there is a lot of cricket being played in that group. These guys have played a lot of cricket, a lot of high-pressure games as well. So, there is not much that you need to discuss as such.
Reporter:]
Inzamam Ul Haq – Pakistan’s ex-captain has said that the Indian team is meddling with the ball because when Arshdeep was bowling in the15th overs, the ball was reverse swinging, which is not possible.
[Rohit Sharma:]
What should I say now about this? You are playing in such hot sun, the wicket is so dry, the ball reverses automatically. It's happening for all the teams, not only ours All the teams are reverse swinging. Sometimes, it's important to open your mind. It's important to understand what conditions you're playing in. The match is not taking place in England or Australia. That's what I'll say.
