Admin The Indian cricket team’s quest to break a 10-year drought and secure an ICC title begins this Sunday, with Rohit Sharma leading the way in the ODI World Cup opener against Australia. The recent victory in the Asia Cup has injected optimism into both the players and supporters of the Indian cricket team. Prior to India’s opening match in the tournament, Rohit Sharma expressed that being a cricketer in India is no small feat, particularly given the immense burden of fan expectations. Nonetheless, Rohit is confident in his team, which boasts several match-winners experienced in dealing with high-pressure situations.
He said, “We are Indian cricketers. We are supposed to go through pressure times, pressure situations. I see a lot of strong mental characters in this squad, who have come through hardships in their career. Nothing has been given that easy to any one of them. They’ve gone through their tough times, they’ve spent their hard times in the middle, and achieved what they’ve achieved today.”
He also told “The 16 years of cricket has taught me that, how to go through the moments and how to handle those pressures and not to let that pressure come on to the team.” Rohit understands that handling the pressure is a unique quality and everyone would react differently. I am sure at certain stages of the tournament some players will go through pressure, the teams will go through pressure. But that is where we need characters.”
