Rohit Sharma on IND vs NZ match of World Cup 2019
As the cricketing world eagerly anticipates the forthcoming ICC World Cup, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is steering his squad away from dwelling on past glories, stressing the team’s laser focus on the present.
Addressing queries about the team’s mindset regarding previous World Cup victories, Captain Rohit Sharma pointed out, “Half of the guys were not even born when we clinched our first World Cup (1983), and then when we won our second World Cup (2011), half of the guys were not even playing the game.”
“For us, the current crop of players are very much engrossed in what can transpire today. I don’t see them reminiscing about how we won the last World Cup or the first. The concentration is on how they can elevate their game and what aspects they need to refine. The spotlight is always on the present,” Sharma asserted.
Sharma’s remarks signify a conscious effort to anchor the team’s mentality firmly in the present, steering clear of any complacency or distraction arising from past achievements. With a mix of seasoned campaigners and emerging talents, the Indian cricket team is determined to approach each match with a fresh outlook, acknowledging the challenges and opportunities of the ongoing tournament.
As India gears up for pivotal encounters in the World Cup, Sharma’s statements underscore the team’s resolve to script new tales of success rather than resting on the laurels of bygone triumphs.
