India-West Indies 5 T20 series will start from Friday
Rohit Sharma said – This series will be important in terms of T20 World Cup
Turuba (Trinidad and Tobago), India captain Rohit Sharma believes that a fearless approach adopted in the shortest format of cricket will result in occasional setbacks for the team but denied that the team had adopted a conservative approach during the T20 World Cup played in the United Arab Emirates last year. .
Rohit 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 said ahead of the 5 T20I series against West Indies, “We did not 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 are conservative. was playing 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.”
Players have full freedom to play natural game: Rohit
He said, “If you look at our performance before the World Cup, we won almost 80 percent of the matches. If we had adopted the 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. After that 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 do not take any kind of unnecessary pressure. If you play freely, it will be visible in the performance.”
‘Indian team going through transition’
Rohit said that the Indian team and its fans will have to move on with such changes. “The kind of cricket we are playing right now, it is bound to meet occasional failures but there is no problem in that because we are learning something. And trying to do something different. 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 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 places are yet to be decided. He said, “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. In the matches we are playing right now, we are focusing on these things.”
The batsman who played 3 matches on Rohit-Kohli-Babar, made two ‘Mahari records’ of T20 in 2 days.
Rohit 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.”
