CWC 2023: "It was all about thinking about one game at a time," says Rohit Sharma

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] : India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said that they focussed on one game at a time in the world cup.

After India's 160-run win against the Netherlands at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, Rohit said that they haven't looked too far ahead because it's a long tournament.

Talking about India's performance at the extravagant tournament, he added that they needed to adapt to different venues and they did that.

"Since we started the tournament, for us, it was all about thinking about one game at a time. We never wanted to look too far ahead because it's a long tournament. It was important to focus on one game. Different venues and we had to adapt, that's exactly what we did. Very pleased with how we have played in these nine games. Very clinical from game one till today. That's because different individuals have stepped up at different times. That's a good sign for the team," Rohit said while speaking at the post-match presentation.

Talking about India's performance against the Netherlands, he added that they wanted to play the game on the field with a lot of fun and that was reflected in their performances and that's why they had nine bowlers on Sunday.

"We know the conditions, but when you play different opponents, that's a different challenge. We adapted really well. We started four games in a row and then we had to bat first, seamers did the rest along with the spinners. It's important, results do matter to keep the dressing room environment lively. There's going to be a lot of expectations, we wanted to keep everything aside and focus on the job at hand. We wanted to play the game on the field with a lot of fun and that reflected on our performances. Today we had nine (bowling) options, it's important, this is the game where we could have tried. Seamers bowling those wide yorkers when not needed, but we wanted to do something different," he added.
