India captain Rohit Sharma acknowledged that his squad has struggled with a fear of failing in the past, but he stated today that they are focused on remaining composed and keeping things simple in this high-stakes T20 World Cup semifinal match against England.
In the match against England, the Indian squad will want to get retribution for the humiliating 10-wicket defeat it suffered at the Adelaide Oval in the 2022 quarterfinal.
When asked whether his team’s previous attempts to win a world championship had been marred by poor luck or dread of failing, Rohit said, “It is a bit of both.” “We want to play this like any other game. It is not something we should be discussing as a semifinal. We must continue our enjoyment of each other’s company. The game is knockout. It doesn’t help to ponder too much, he said.
The 27-year-old Mumbai native said he expects intelligent cricket from his colleagues tomorrow. Since 2022, not much has changed, to be honest.
We have made an effort to play both T20Is and ODIs with an open mentality. During the pre-match news conference, Rohit said, “It all depends on conditions, which were challenging throughout the tournament here.” “We want to be a knowledgeable cricket squad. In terms of the players as well as myself, I have kept things straightforward. We depend on the players making wise choices when they are on the pitch, and we have done well with role clarity. Everyone is aware that they have to do the task. “There’s no need to switch from 2022 to 2024,” he said.
