IND vs BAN: Keep calm and keep moving forward – Rohit Sharma after India’s win over Pakistan
India triumphed over Pakistan in the 2023 ICC World Cup. After 191 runs were scored through bundled out opposition, they pursued the objective with 7 wickets remaining. Rohit Sharma stated that they want to cross their fingers and continue after the game. They want to proceed and maintain balance, he continued. He clarified:
“There, too, my role as a captain is crucial. Examine the job specifications and determine which candidate is most suited for the position. It’s simply because the boys had a lot of runs before they entered the World Cup. We knew exactly what we intended to do. I didn’t want to be undecided about who should bat where.
Overall, it appears quite nice. I’d like to cross my fingers. Not wanting to get carried away. Not wanting to sink too low either. wish to maintain equilibrium. Remain composed and carry on forwards.”
