During a recent interview with Dubai Eye 103.8 FM, Rohit Sharma discussed the prospect of facing Pakistan in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. The Indian skipper expressed his fondness for challenges and expressed his eagerness to compete against a formidable team like Pakistan, citing their strong bowling lineup.
Sharma remarked: “At the end of the day, I want to play cricket and I want to feel challenged in cricket. I feel Pakistan has a good team. They have got solid bowlers who have come through the ranks now. India-Pakistan always brings out something and more than the team, people outside will love watch us play.”
Regarding the pressures and expectations on cricketers in India, Rohit further commented: “When you sign up as a cricketer in India, you should know what you’re dealing with. When you come good, they will make you look like Gods, but obviously, when things don’t go your way, they can tear you apart as well.”
