Discussions are over, time to execute plans: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma expects his boys to go all out and express themselves, even if that means taking calculated risks with innovative shots or starting an over with a bouncer. Rohit mentioned that he wanted to bring a sense of “security” in the team which is why the squads for the two T20I series (Australia and South Africa) were announced ahead of the World Cup team. Barring the pace trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh, who will be rested during the course of the six matches, the captain feels the boys can freely extend their limits in these games.

No confusion on KL Rahul's role in T20 World Cup

Virat Kohli’s century, while opening the innings against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, might have triggered speculations of his possible elevation as opener in the upcoming T20 World Cup. But for Rohit Sharma, Virat remains the third opener and it will be KL Rahul partnering him at the top of the order during the showpiece event, starting October 16 in Australia. For quite some time, KL Rahul’s tempered-down approach in T20 format has attracted criticism and Kohli’s return to form with his first international century in three years, has only added fuel to fire to the debate on the opening slot. However, in a media interaction ahead of the three-match T20I series against Australia starting here on Tuesday, Rohit said that there’s no confusion on the Karnataka right-hander’s role as he is a “very important player for India.”
