It is a matter of great honor for me. But there will be many challenges ahead of me. We have a very good team and we are looking forward to the matches.
It is a big setback for us as he has been in very good form. But we have players in their place. He stood in the slip and got hit on the thumb. But his injury is an opportunity for other players.
It doesn’t matter whether he is a bowler or a batsman. It is only the mind that matters. Bumrah has a very good mind. It will be great for him to step into the acting role of vice-captain.
Sanju has a lot of talent. Whenever we have seen him bat, everyone is in awe. Many people have talent. But it is up to them to use it.
We see the potential to win a lot of matches in Sanju. I hope he understands this. He is on our minds. His backfoot game is very good and that feeling will come in very handy when we go to Australia for the World Cup.
Another big problem before India is who will be given a place in the team after Suryakumar’s injury. The team can choose between Sanju Samson and Deepak Hooda.
The Ranji Trophy Performance:-
All I want to say to the players playing Ranji is just keep scoring runs like this, you will get the opportunity ahead. Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari all have got opportunities as they have scored a lot of runs.
All they have to do is wait for their chance and keep scoring. A lot of things depend on the pitch, team management, etc. So you can never say when what will be expected.
When asked about experimenting with batting, Rohit says
This was only for the third T20 match against West Indies. I want to give them opportunities for the upcoming games. We are not thinking about the World Cup right now because it is still far away. Right now we are planning about the things we want.
Rohit says about players getting injured
I don’t want any player to get injured. I myself was injured and I know how hard it is. You have to start from scratch after getting injured. We will rotate the team to keep the players fresh. This will allow us to give opportunities to new players in the team.
The All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja Returns:-
In the press conference, this question will definitely be asked to Rohit that after Deepak and Suryakumar are out of the series, with which combination the Indian team will take the field against Sri Lanka.
However, with the return of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian team’s middle-order has been strengthened but he was out of the team for the last 4 months.
Captain Rohit Sharma is not short of options but the unavailability of in-form Deepak and Suryakumar could become a matter of concern for him.
