JaipurNew captain Rohit Sharma has clarified what his role will be when Virat Kohli returns as batter. Rohit Sharma said that Virat Kohli will be an integral part of the T20 team. Rohit Sharma talking to new coach Rahul Dravid before the first match of the T20 series (IND vs NZ) against New Zealand.
Kohli’s return will only strengthen the team. What he has done for the team for so long will continue to be the same when he returns. His presence on the team is very important. Kohli is a player who can influence the outcome of a match. He is a player who can announce his presence whenever he goes to play. Kohli is also a very important player from the team’s point of view. When Kohli returns, Rohit said, his experience and the presence of a batsman like him will only strengthen the team.
Do not copy anyone’s T20 template
Rohit said that the performance of any team in T20 cricket is not like that. The strengths and weaknesses of the Indian team will be taken into account. Despite not winning ICC tournaments, the Indian team has excelled in T20 cricket. Of course there are some holes to close. It will be on every team. Therefore, I would not say that any team will repeat its performance. We try to shape our own style of performance.
While playing Syed Mushtaq Ali and playing in the IPL, each player has different roles to play. The same goes for the Indian team. The role of everyone in the Indian team is to motivate them to do whatever they want. “For that, the players need to be given the opportunity in the long run and the conditions need to be created for them to showcase their talent,” Rohit said.
India will play three T20 matches against New Zealand, who lost to Australia in the final of the T20 World Cup. Both teams will then play in a two-Test series. The Kiwis will be led by Tim Southee in the absence of Kane Williams. The T20 matches will be played in Jaipur, Ranchi and Kolkata. Kanpur and Mumbai will host the Tests.
