The first match that Rohit Sharma and India plays in the Twenty20 World Cup 2022 will be against Pakistan, one of their most bitter rivals. Sunday will be the day when the much-anticipated match takes place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (October 23).
It is too early to start thinking about the knockout phases of the competition, according to Rohit Sharma, who emphasizes that India needs to do “a lot of things right” if they are going to win the men’s Twenty20 World Cup in 2022.
India hasn’t been able to win a World Cup since 2011, even though they have consistently been one of the pre-tournament favorites for several years now. They were unable to advance to the knockout stages of the 2021 Twenty20 World Cup.
India will begin their campaign against Pakistan on Sunday in Melbourne, much like they did back then in the United Arab Emirates.
In spite of the customary anticipation and excitement surrounding the match, Rohit emphasized that India must maintain composure in order to get the outcome they want.
Former Australia all-rounder, Shane Watson heaped praise on Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the ICC World T20 2022. He said that Rohit Sharma is an experienced captain and he has achieved lots of silverware in the IPL. So, he does have the experience to handle the team in crucial moments and tournaments.
What did Shane Watson say about Rohit Sharma?
Shane Watson (in TOI) said “Rohit Sharma is one of the best, he is an experienced captain – he had lots of success in IPL, and knows how to handle a team well”.
The title of captain comes with a time limit attached to it. Nobody is better than it. Except for the fact that Rohit Sharma probably was aware of the likely termination date of his work. It is the One-Day International World Cup in 2023, not because it marks the end of the four-year World Cup cycle, which is often the period when countries go through roster changes, but rather because Sharma will be 37 years old by the time the Twenty20 World Cup rolls around in 2024. It is becoming a game for younger men, and KL Rahul, who is 30 years old, has been trained for this position for a very long time.
