India Focuses on Composure and Simplicity for T20 World Cup Semifinal
India's skipper, Rohit Sharma, has emphasized the importance of composure and simplicity for his team as they prepare for the high-stakes T20 World Cup semifinal against England. Acknowledging past struggles with the fear of failure, Rohit stressed the need to approach the match with a clear mind.
The Indian team is eager to avenge their crushing 10-wicket defeat to England in the 2022 semifinal at the Adelaide Oval. Rohit believes that treating the match as a normal game and focusing on their strengths will be crucial.
"We want to be a smart cricket team," Rohit said. "We have done well with role clarity and rely on the players making good decisions on the field."
Rohit praised the team's performance in the Super Eight stage, particularly his own blistering 92-run knock against Australia. He emphasized the importance of staying calm under pressure, a strategy that has served him well throughout his career.
Regarding the team's bowling strategy, Rohit remained non-committal on whether they would field four spinners. Wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have been impressive in the West Indies leg of the tournament, but Rohit indicated that the team would assess the conditions before making a decision.
