Rohit Sharma Says ‘80-90% Of Play Is Set’: With less than a month left for the T20 World Cup squad announcement, Rohit Sharma is confident that 80-90% of the team has already been decided. Although Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel will miss the tournament, the Asia Cup 2022 tournament would give an idea of likely selection XI. The only chinks in the armour
As of now, the team is more or less set with 80-90 percent of the players being chosen. The team can be changed depending on the conditions, but right now three-four changes are likely.India’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma said this about the upcoming T20 World Cup.
The only changes that India will have to make are due to the conditions in Australia – smaller pitches might lead to Mohammed Shami being brought back into the team.
Rohit Sharma said that he and his team are playing in India right now, and the conditions in Australia will be different. They need to check beforehand what suits their team down under,” Rohit Sharma said.
But the T20 World Cup will have fans of both teams watching for Rohit Sharma & Co. As India play Pakistan on August 28, there’s a potential of them seeing them once again in Super 4, and if they win their matchup, possibly the final. Despite losing 10-wickets when they last played, the Indian fans are confident that this time is going to be different. Though in his words it might not be different; Rohit promises that it will be.
The Asia Cup is a long time coming for Pakistan, with this tournament being the reigning Champions. Regardless of how last year’s match ended in Dubai, numerous changes have been made for this year. Today’s team has been preparing differently and playing differently from 2 yrs ago and will look to assess various variables in order to prevail on the pitch.
While India vs Pakistan rivalry will certainly be the main focus, Rohit Sharma stated that the team is not worried about the opposition. Instead, they want to focus on their own strengths and weaknesses.
With the Asia Cup looming, we won’t focus on specific opponents—but rather on what we have to do as a team and achieve. In our past two matches with West Indies, England, and Sri Lanka respectively, we’ve focused on what’s really important in addition to who we’re facing.
