With the T20 World Cup 2024 fast approaching, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma has emphasized the importance of team unity and downplayed personal milestones. The tournament, scheduled to commence on June 1 in the USA and West Indies, will see India begin their campaign against Ireland on June 5.
Rohit, who assumed the captaincy after Virat Kohli, has instilled a sense of collective responsibility within the team. "It's not about personal milestones and stats," he said in a recent interview. "It's about what 11 of us can bring on the table and win the trophy."
India's quest for a major ICC title has spanned over a decade, and Rohit is determined to break the drought. "When I took over as captain, I wanted everyone to drive in one direction," he explained. "That's how team sport should be played."
Despite speculations about his retirement after the T20 World Cup, Rohit has expressed his desire to continue playing for several more years. "I want to play for a few more years and make an impact on world cricket," he said. "I have seen more downs than ups in my life, and the human version of what I am today is because of the past and the downs."
India's schedule in the group stage includes matches against Pakistan on June 9, USA on June 12, and Canada on June 15. The team will be eager to secure a top-two finish in their group to advance to the Super 12 stage.
Rohit's leadership and the team's collective spirit will be crucial in India's pursuit of T20 World Cup glory. With a blend of experience and youthful exuberance, the team has the potential to overcome any challenges and emerge victorious.
