India cricket team’s Rohit Sharma explained that there was a plan in place for the team and that if everyone followed it to the T, then there wouldn’t be much to think about. His remarks come after the Men in Blue sealed the IND vs ENG series with a 4-wicket win in the 2nd ODI.

Rohit Sharma wants teammates to follow captain, coach
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Sharma emphasized that there was nothing much to think about as long as the players understood what they were supposed to do. He urged them to follow whatever the captain and coach were saying and execute the plans accordingly. Rohit remarked that he wanted the team to get better – both individually and collectively.
“I said after the last match as well, we want to get better as a team and as players. As long guys are clear what they are supposed to do and whatever the captain and coach is saying, if they execute it then there’s not much to think about,” Rohit said.

Hitman on how he planned his innings
Rohit turned back the clock to play a whirlwind knock in Cuttack, studded with his trademark shots and aggression. His 119-run knock was studded with 12 fours and seven sixes. When asked about his innings, the Hitman explained how he planned to go about the run-chase.
“It was good, really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. Important game, series on the line. I broke it into pieces how I wanted to bat. It’s a format that is longer than T20 cricket and a lot shorter than Tests. Still, you need to assess and bat according to the situation. I wanted to stay focused and bat as deep as possible,” Sharma added.
