Rohit Sharma said the new approach has given players more freedom
Rohit Sharma said the new approach has given players more freedom, which has helped the team achieve success after a disappointing World Cup campaign. India could not progress beyond the second round in the World Cup. Rohit Sharma said before the five-match T20 series against West Indies, ‘We were not able to get favorable results in the last World Cup, but that does not mean that we played bad cricket in all these years and I do not agree that We were playing orthodox cricket. If we lose one or two matches in the World Cup, it doesn’t mean that we didn’t take advantage of the opportunities.

We won almost 80 percent of the matches
“If you look at our performance before the World Cup, we won almost 80 per cent of the matches. If we had adopted a conservative approach, then how could we have won so many matches. It’s true that we lost in the World Cup, but it happens. That doesn’t mean we weren’t playing freely. Afterwards we did not make any changes. We were playing as before, but the players were given more freedom to play their natural game. Play freely and don’t take any kind of unnecessary pressure. If you play freely, it will be visible in the performance.

Try to separate
Rohit Sharma said that the Indian team and its fans will have to go ahead with such changes. “The kind of cricket we are playing right now is bound to have occasional failures, but it’s okay because we are learning something and trying to do something different,” he said. So there is little room for mistakes, but that doesn’t mean our players are playing poorly. It means we are trying something new. With time everyone has to change and we are making changes and I think people sitting outside also need to change their thinking.

Team almost decided for T20 World Cup
Rohit Sharma has said that the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in Australia later this year is almost certain and now only a few venues are yet to be decided. “There are some gaps in the team that are yet to be filled and we know what we need to do to fill those gaps. We are focusing on these things in the matches we are playing now.
Rohit Sharma said, ‘Whatever series we are playing is important. Certainly the World Cup is near, but whatever series you play for India is important. What we achieved in England was important and we want to take that forward.
