Rohit Sharma said about Suryakumar Yadav – Hopefully Suryakumar Yadav will maintain his form in the World Cup. He is a very important player, and can prove to be the X factor of Team India.
Babar Azam – Rohit is older than me, and I try to learn from him as much as I can.
Rohit Sharma – How is the situation in the house, how is the family? This is what happens whenever we meet. Our previous generation also told us that the same thing happens about which car to buy.
Rohit Sharma said – I told that injuries keep happening, you cannot show much trouble about that. We need to think more about what to do next.
Whenever we gave opportunities to new boys, they did well. Our job is to motivate the new boys, and we can’t do anything more than that. We played a practice match in Perth.
We will prepare for our playing 11 before the first match on the 23rd. I am not the one to take last-minute decisions, we have kept the players by giving hints as to who is going to play.
Babar Azam said – The match with India is always of a high level. We enjoy on field. We have a good fast bowling unit.
Rohit Sharma – Look, injuries are part of the game. We could not do much in this, because if you play so many matches then there will be injury.
Our focus was to strengthen the players sitting on the bench, so in the last one year new boys were fed.
After Corona, Shami was in his farm house, then after a lot of hard work in NCA, he reached Brisbane. Recovery after Corona has been very good, feeling good about Shami.
Tried a lot to manage the player, but it happens (injury). So our focus was to prepare our selling players, feed them the game, back them up.
The bowlers who have just come into the team. He has come after playing a lot of matches, not just playing a couple of matches so it is a positive for us.
Rohit Sharma – It is important for all the captains, we can inspire the coming generation for this game. Make the game as global as possible.
Australian captain Aaron Finch said – We are a very balanced team. Not only in terms of playing but also looking at the entire squad, our team is quite balanced. There is positivity in us about the World Cup.
Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi said – It is a matter of pride that we will play directly in Super 12. We are very excited about the World Cup.
