Rohit Sharma Reveals Masterplan Behind Axar Patel's Promotion, Ahead of KL Rahul And Hardik Pandya

Skipper Rohit Sharma on Thursday said there isn't anything specific which the Indian team wants to try and achieve ahead of the Champions Trophy but would look to keep ticking all the boxes like they did against England in the first ODI in Nagpur. Barring a minor hiccup towards the end of a modest 249-run chase when they slipped from 221/3 to 235/6, India produced a near-perfect show to take a 1-0 lead with a four-wicket win. "Nothing specific. Overall as a team, I just want us to keep making sure that we keep doing the right things as often as possible.

"We want to try and tick every box that is there to be ticked in terms of bowling, batting and stuff like that. So (we) pretty much managed to do that today, although I felt we shouldn't have lost those wickets at the end."

"It would have been good, but again, guys are trying to put pressure back on the bowlers and while doing that things like this can happen," he said.

Rohit said he was satisfied with India's performance given the team was playing an ODI game after almost six months.

"I'm pretty happy because we all knew that we're coming off from a long time playing this format so it was important for us to just regroup as quickly as possible and understand what is supposed to be done," he said.

"This is a slightly longer format where you have time to come back into the game. When things start to go slightly away from you, it doesn't mean that it's going to keep going away.

"You have to try and pull things back and that is what exactly what we did. A lot of credit to all the bowlers there, everyone chipped in with that performance and it was important and necessary
