IND vs PAK: Rohit Sharma said – challenging match against Pakistan in World Cup, need balance in batting

A high voltage match will be played between India and Pakistan in Melbourne today In the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma had said in the press conference before the pre-match that, “Pakistan team is a very challenging team. All the Pakistani teams I have played in from 2007 to 2022 have been good. If we look back at the performance of the Indian team, then for the last several years, India has failed to win any major ICC tournament. On the other hand, Pakistan has been consistently performing well against India for a few years. 

India could not win the World Cup after 2007 and 2011

India won the 2007 T20 and 2011 ODI World Cup under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Since then the period of change started in the Indian team. Over the next few years, India was preparing a good finisher, wicketkeeper-batsman, slog-over and especially bowlers for the 19th over. 

On the other hand, if we talk about Pakistan, then the Pakistan team is consistently performing well in the group stage matches. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also admitted this. In a press conference on Saturday, Rohit said that, I want to take it as a challenge. Pakistan team is very challenging team. We need to strike a balance in the batting."

Have to be ready for every situation

Rohit Sharma further said that, "Pakistan's performance in the last World Cup was good. He defeated us. He was good in the Asia Cup. We were good too, but we won the first game and they won the second game." Rohit Sharma said that the situation is different in Australia. 

Captain Rohit Sharma said on the possibility of rain, “We need to get into the field thinking that it is a 40-over game. If circumstances change, we will be ready for it. A lot of people have played these kinds of games before and they know how to handle themselves in a situation like this.
