Indian captain Rohit Sharma said about this strategy of playing aggressively. We have discussed this a lot. We intend to play with a certain approach. When playing like this, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t. But you should think of playing the same way again and again. It is challenging. It’s hard to play the same way every day. As discussed, all players should play equally. Not just one or two players but the entire batting line-up needs to know how we want to play. He said that our players are clear in this position.
