New Delhi. Indian captain Rohit Sharma wants his teammates to show the same game they have been showing for the last six weeks in the World Cup 2023 final against Australia on Sunday. Rohit said that this is a big opportunity. No doubt, because this is what your hard work and dreams are for. I grew up watching the World Cup. In such a situation, this is a memorable moment for me too. The Indian team is all set to face Australia in the final of the World Cup 2023. India have not lost a single match in the tournament so far and have won 10 matches in a row. On the other hand, Australia has also won 8 consecutive matches. Australia has won the ODI World Cup title 5 times while Team India has won it 2 times.
Speaking to the media before the match, Rohit Sharma said that the biggest challenge for professional players is how you keep all this aside and focus on your work. So tomorrow the other 10 players playing on the field with me will focus on their work for the team instead of thinking about it, this is a big moment in my life. He admitted that this is easier said than done because there is pressure somewhere.
Can’t separate the final from your mind
Rohit Sharma said it is definitely a big day. No doubt. This will be going on in the mind. You cannot hide it, but it is very important to remain calm in such situations, because if you are calm and composed, you can play your role well. He said that this is a big tournament for me. I have grown up watching the 50-over World Cup since childhood. This is a big moment for me. But I know I have to focus on what my team wants from me. I want to keep other things separate.
Rohit Sharma gave a big update on the pitch of the World Cup final, said – the players know, but the fog…
The captain’s advice is always taken but he doesn’t know what kind of storm is going on inside the other players. He said that I cannot tell how they are feeling inside, because I am not with them 24 hours a day. So I don’t know how every player is feeling. But one thing he knows is that the pressure is constant. He said that as an Indian cricketer you have to face pressure. It remains constant. Today we are playing, tomorrow someone else will play, sweat someone else will play. They have to face this kind of pressure, criticism and everything.
