Team’s Priority: Rohit Sharma Emphasizes Focus on Collective Goals

Ahead of the World Cup final against Australia, Captain Rohit Sharma emphasized the importance of maintaining composure amid the external pressures faced by Indian cricketers. Rohit highlighted the team’s calm approach, stating, “Inside what they (players) feel I can’t tell you, but when they are around the group, everybody seems to be quite relaxed and calm.” Recognizing the inherent pressure on Indian cricketers, he stressed the need to adhere to the team’s strengths.

Reflecting on the emotional significance of the event, Rohit conveyed that the focus for all players would be on their contributions to the team rather than the magnitude of the occasion. He acknowledged Australia’s strong performance in the tournament, stating, “Both teams deserve to be at this stage playing the finals, and we understand the importance of what Australia can do.”

Expressing gratitude towards coach Rahul Dravid, Rohit attributed the team’s freedom and playing style to Dravid’s support. He revealed his desire to win the title for Dravid, recognizing the coach’s substantial role and contribution to Indian cricket. Dravid’s connection to past World Cup disappointments, including the 2003 final defeat, adds a layer of motivation for the team. Rohit concluded, “And it’s for us to do it for him.”
