‘Initially I was nervous…’ What was Rohit Sharma afraid of, when did he think he would win?

New Delhi. India started the World Cup 2023 with a win. Team India defeated Australia by 6 wickets in their first match. Chasing the 200-run target, India got off to a scary start. The three batsmen Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer returned to the pavilion without opening the account. India was in danger of losing but Virat Kohli and KL Rahul put on a 165-run partnership for the fourth wicket to give Team India a memorable win. After the match, even Rohit Sharma admitted that I was nervous at first.

Rohit Sharma said, “I feel good after the win. It was a good match for us to start the tournament. I thought it was brilliant, especially in the fielding…we saw every player fielding brilliantly. It is not easy in such situations. Our bowlers used the conditions very well and we knew everyone on the wicket would get help. Fast bowlers also got reverse swing, spinners bowled in good areas. Overall it was a great effort. “

The Indian captain further said, “I was nervous at first. You don’t want to start an innings like this. Full credit goes to the Australian bowlers as they bowled in this area but we also played poor shots. When you have a target like this you want to score as many runs as possible in the powerplay but credit goes to Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, how did they chase down the target? “It’s going to be a challenge for us as a team, to go and adapt to different situations, whoever suits the situation has to come in and do the job.”
