Before IND vs BAN 1st Test Match this is what Rohit Sharma Said
On Tuesday September 17 ahead of the 1st IND vs BAN Test match Rohit Sharma did a press conferencewhere he spoke his mind and the challenges lying ahead. As the event got underway and progressed, Rohit’s answers were to the point. His facial expressions teased as if a Rohit-like answer was on its way, and even though it took until the very end of the press conference, it did come when Rohit was asked to comment on the Bangladesh team and what they are capable of.
Ahead of the IND vs BAN series, the mind games have already begun with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and pacer Nahid Rana issuing indirect warnings to India, but as Rohit pointed out, none of it matters.
Rohit said, “See, every team likes to beat India. Let them [Bangladesh] have fun. We need to win the match, and that’s what we are here for. We can’t think about what they have to think and say about us. When England came here, they said a lot of things too. But we didn’t focus much on it. We needed to deliver results, and that’ll be our aim here as well. To play good cricket. India have played against a lot of teams recently, and our combined aim is to win, rather than keep thinking about the opposition.”
“Every Test match is a big one. We are playing for country there is no dress rehearsal happening. Every game is important. Because of what is at stake – WTC. Table is quite wide open. You want to play every game. We want to win here. Focus on winning the Bangladesh series rather than looking too far ahead. We are resuming after a long time. Nice to have everyone back. When it starts, we have to see where we stand and then take it from there,” he added.
