We don’t want to hype this game within ourselves: Rohit Sharma

The battle between the arch-rivals is always surrounded by massive hype about the game. Team India skipper Sharma has expressed that they want to keep the dressing room atmosphere normal.
“Everyone watches the game especially India vs Pakistan. Without a doubt, it is a high-pressure game. But within the group, we want to create a normal atmosphere and don’t want to hype this game within ourselves. For us, it is just a game of cricket.
